Growing up for Christofer was difficult but he got through it with no regrets, he was born in SanDiego & lived there until he was 2, then he moved to Portland & was there until he was 5, he then moved to Joplin & grew up there. His mothers name is Nancy Keifner & his fathers name is Edward Ingle. His mother taught him about life & love while his father taught him about music & how to be a man. His parents recently divorced during the summer of 09' , which inspired him to write the song "What is Love". He has an older brother named David who is an artist, he has two younger sisters, Hannah who is 18 recently went of to college, Christofer is paying for her tuition, Sarah is 15 years old, she is the girl that inspired the song "15". Unlike his sisters, Christofers school life was hard, he was constantly made fun of for not playing football, he did however do track & field, cross country, & for a while thought about tennis as a future career. He was a really big dork during high school, not many people talked to him, thats why he would stay home half the time & then after a while he finally dropped out. That part of his past is hardest to admit because he thinks an education is a very important part of growing up, he doesn't want anyone to think that its a good thing to drop out. At about 13 he started getting really interested in guitar, he learned to play off his dad's guitar, although at the age of 14 he started smoking, he smokes American Spirits which are pure tobacao but he's trying to quit & so far its working out for him. When he turned 16, his life started to get really busy, that year he became a vegeterian, found out the girl he loved had cheated on him many times, he started the band Never Shout Never, he also had his first experience with drugs which he admits is something he is very ashamed of. But his parents werent' going to take care of him anymore so he got kicked out, so he lived in his car & friends couches, his friend Nick Smith also dropped out to support him. His music brought him through the tough times, so far with his career he doesn't have any real conecerts but he does spend all his summer at the warped tour with his friend & doing the thing he loves the most,playing music & many people including myself see him going very far with his music career.
