Early life


Joe was born in Hollywood, Florida to Jewish American parents and went to Hebrew school.[1] His father is a cardiologist. 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 Winnetka, Illinois, 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 the audio visual club, New Trier Network, as well as briefly playing bass in Arma Angelus with Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz on vocals.

Fall Out Boy


Main articles: Fall Out Boy

Trohman co-founded Fall Out Boy with Pete Wentz. The two had become tired of the hardcore scene in which they had participated through various bands in the Chicago area, and wanted to start a more pop-influenced band. Trohman met Patrick Stump while in Borders Bookstore after talking about a common appreciation for the band, Neurosis.

Equipment


Joe Trohman has used many guitars during his career. In the ''Take This To Your Grave'' days, he was seen using the Gibson Les Paul guitars. During ''From Under The Cork Tree'', Joe mainly used Fender Telecasters. Currently, Joe Trohman is endorsed by Washburn Guitars. He has his own custom shop models which can be seen here.
