Encyclopedic overview

Mark Allan Hoppus (born March 15, 1972) is an American musician, songwriter and record producer. He is the co-lead vocalist, co-founder, and bassist for the rock band Blink-182 and the only constant member.

Hoppus became interested in skateboarding and punk rock in junior high, and received a bass guitar from his father at the age of 15. After he moved to San Diego in 1992 to attend California State University San Marcos, his sister introduced him to Tom DeLonge, and they formed the band Blink-182 with drummer Scott Raynor. The band produced several rock recordings and toured exhaustively before signing to major label MCA to co-distribute their sophomore effort, 1997's Dude Ranch, which featured the Hoppus-penned hit "Dammit".
