I was born October 3, 1969 in Orange County, California. Grew up in Southern California with two brothers, Todd and Eric. I got influenced by the rising popularity of ska and punk that was making its presence felt in the So Cal area. My brother Eric started the band No Doubt with his friend John Spence in 1987 and asled me to join on as co-vocalist with Spence. Tony Kanal joined the group a little later, and we began to gain popularity by playing at local parties. But the party was over when Spence committed suicide in 1987, which left me to move up the rank to lead vocalist. The show had to go on, and it did, as we continued to perform in local gigs. In the meantime, i had graduated high school, and followed up my studies at Cal State Fullerton College. I was in a 7-year long romance with fellow band member, Tony Kanal. In 1989, two new members joined the No Doubt band, guitarist Tom Dumont and drummer Adrian Young. In 1992, we released our self-titled debut, but despite the effort the band had put in, the album was far from a commercial success. Beacon Street Collection, was released in 1995. We were back in business and returned to the recording studio with the support of our record company. Now we are experimenting with different things.
