Music career

Never Shout Never (2007–present)

Originally a solo project, Ingle began making music under the alias NeverShoutNever! in 2007 (age 16).

Eatmewhileimhot (2008–present)

In 2008 Ingle and fellow band members of Never Shout Never, Taylor McFee, Hayden Kaiser, and former member Caleb Denison, created an experimental band by the name "Eatmewhileimhot!", originally making music with post-hardcore influences, and on later releases experimenting by expanding their sound into metalcore, deathcore, and experimental metal.

Personal life

At the age of 16, Christofer became a vegetarian,^[8] and eventually a vegan.^[9]

Bryan Stars incident

On June 3, 2012, Never Shout Never was interviewed by Youtuber BryanStars. Ingle ended the interview early, calling his show a "joke" and that his questions were "bullshit", leaving Stars in tears. Ingle later claimed to have taken acid before the interview and was arrested for possession of marijuana later that day.^{[10][11][12][13]} On February 10, 2015, another interview with Ingle was uploaded by Stars. Both stated that they had reconciled prior to the interview and are now on good terms.^[14]
