Wade spent his early years in Camarillo, California, brought up in a Christian family and is still a Christian. His parents were missionaries, and he traveled with them to Japan, Thailand, Singapore and Hong Kong (where he attended Hong Kong International School), finally returning to the U.S. (Portland, Oregon).
Wade's parents divorced when he was 12, and he moved with his mother & sister to Port Orchard, Washington. Around this time, he taught himself how to play his mother's guitar, and began writing his own music and lyrics.
Several years later, Wade and his mother relocated to Los Angeles, where he co-founded his first band, Lifehouse, which achieved considerable success.
Wade married his girlfriend Braeden in Santa Monica, California on January 20, 2001.[1]
After Wade moved to Los Angeles, he met bassist Sergio Andrade and began his songwriting career. This partnership was the early phase of the formation of Lifehouse, which, after a deal with DreamWorks Records, made them more notable with their first release, No Name Face, which was followed by the album Stanley Climbfall in 2002.
In 2005 the band recorded the album Lifehouse in the Ironworks recording studio owned by musician Jude Cole and actor Kiefer Sutherland. A digital download of the album's first single "You and Me" was RIAA certified gold by the RIAA. In two months, "You and Me" sold over 100,000 downloads.
Subsequent albums released by Lifehouse are: Who We Are in 2007, and Smoke & Mirrors in 2010.
