Timeline

1975

Thomas Matthew DeLonge (born December 13, 1975) is an American musician best known as the co-founder, co-lead vocalist, and guitarist of the rock band Blink-182 across three stints: 1992 to 2005, 2009 to 2015, and again since 2022.

Thomas Matthew DeLonge was born in Poway, California, on December 13, 1975, the son of a mortgage broker mother and an oil company executive father.

He has a brother named Shon and a sister named Kari.

His first musical instrument was a trumpet, which he received as a Christmas gift at age 11.

He originally planned to become a firefighter, and participated in the San Diego Cadet Program.

He first picked up the guitar from a friend at church camp, and became preoccupied by the instrument.

He received his first guitar as a Christmas present from two friends in the sixth grade, which he described as a "beat-up, shitty acoustic guitar that was worth about $30".

In the seventh grade, DeLonge visited a friend in Oregon who introduced him to the music of Stiff Little Fingers, the Descendents, and Dinosaur Jr. He consequently dyed his hair purple and began practicing the guitar loudly in his bedroom.

He attempted to form a band named Big Oily Men, which was essentially a one-man band because its line-up consisted of whomever he could persuade to join him for short periods.

He first began skateboarding in the third grade, and it would consume much of his activity outside of school: "I lived, ate, and breathed skateboarding. All I did all day long was skateboard. It was all I cared about."

He and friends would begin at one side of San Diego and attempt to skateboard to the other half, pranking people in the process.

As such, he was an average student and later said, "I knew exactly how hard I had to work in school. As long as I got that C, I wouldn't try one minute extra to get a B. I just cared about skateboarding and music."

DeLonge's parents were constantly fighting in his formative years, culminating in a divorce when he was 18.

Shortly thereafter, his mother lost her job.

He promptly moved out, feeling as though he needed to start his own life; his brother was also away at that time in the Army, and his departure affected his family: "My mom and sister were left asking, 'What happened to our family?'" Following high school, he worked on construction sites, where he drove a Diesel truck and handled concrete and piping: "I hated, hated, hated my job. You know those people who hate their job? That was me."

1992

DeLonge formed his first successful band, Blink-182, in 1992.

He was removed from Poway High School in the second half of his junior year for going to a basketball game while inebriated.

He was forced to attend a different school for one semester, nearby Rancho Bernardo High School, where he became friends with Kerry Key, and his girlfriend, Anne Hoppus.

Rancho Bernardo organized Battle of the Bands competitions, and DeLonge signed up, performing an original song titled "Who's Gonna Shave Your Back Tonight?"

to a packed auditorium.

Drummer Scott Raynor was at the competition with his own group, which soon dissolved, after which he was introduced by friend Paul Scott to DeLonge at a party.

The two began to organize jam sessions at Raynor's home, shifting through various bassists.

The following summer, his desire to be in a legitimate band increased significantly – Anne Hoppus characterized Delonge's passion as "incessant whining and complaining".

Her brother, bassist, Mark Hoppus, was new to San Diego and she introduced the two one night that August.

The two would jam for hours in DeLonge's garage, exchanging lyrics and writing new songs.

The trio began to practice together in Raynor's bedroom, spending hours together writing music, attending punk shows and movies and playing practical jokes.

Hoppus and DeLonge would alternate singing vocal parts.

1995

They signed with Cargo Music and released their debut album, Cheshire Cat (1995), which made them popular in the local scene.

1996

2002

DeLonge and Barker experimented with post-hardcore music on the album Box Car Racer (2002), which they released under the name Box Car Racer, but the side project was dissolved the following year.

2003

Blink-182's untitled fifth album, also known eponymously as Blink-182 (2003), reflected a change in tone within the group; two years later, following internal tension spearheaded by DeLonge, the band broke up for a few years.

DeLonge then formed Angels & Airwaves, which has since released five albums and has evolved into what he calls an "art project" encompassing various forms of media.

Outside of music, DeLonge has founded companies such as Macbeth Footwear, which sells vegan and organic clothing; Modlife, which sells technology designed to help artists monetize their creations; and To the Stars, which is dedicated to the exploration of fringe science.

2005

He is also the lead vocalist and guitarist of the rock band Angels & Airwaves, which he formed in 2005 after his first departure from Blink-182.

DeLonge is noted for his distinctive nasal singing voice.

DeLonge received his first guitar as a child and later began writing punk rock songs.

While in high school, he formed Blink-182 with bassist Mark Hoppus and drummer Scott Raynor.

2011

He scored and produced the sci-fi film Love (2011), has multiple film projects in development, and wrote the children's book The Lonely Astronaut on Christmas Eve (2013).
