Early Life
Trohman grew up in South Russell, east of Cleveland, Ohio. He lived there for 12 years and attended Chagrin Falls Schools, playing the trombone in the school band until he picked up guitar later in his secondary school years. He moved to a suburb of Chicago when he was around 12 years old. He attended Washburne Middle School, where he participated in various bands for fun. After Washburne, he attended New Trier Township High School. During his high school years he was part of an audio visual club, as well as briefly playing bass in Arma Angelus with Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz on vocals.
Fall Out Boy
Joe co-founded Fall Out Boy with Pete Wentz . They were planning to start a hardcore band, but when that fell through they joked around about starting a pop-punk band. Then, while they were looking for people to be in the band, Trohman overheard current lead vocalist Patrick Stump talking about a band of mutual interest. He then joined and they released Fall Out Boy's Evening Out With Your Girlfriend in 2003.
