Who is Nick Wheeler?
Nickolas Don Wheeler (born March 20, 1982) is the lead guitarist, co-founder and backing vocalist for The All-American Rejects. Wheeler's musical career was first inspired through his sister's music collection such as Queen and Def Leppard. He first started playing guitar when he was seven. When he was a teenager, he was invited to play with his band at a party where Tyson Ritter was the bouncer. Ritter, seeing that Wheeler's band didn't have a bassist, joined them, starting a close friendship with Wheeler, although Ritter had never played a bass guitar in his life. The two traveled to New York City to record their first album. Later, they added Mike Kennerty and Chris Gaylor to their live show. Their first album, for which Nick played drums and guitar, relased many hits such as Swing Swing, Time Stands Still and The Last Song. After a year a half hiatus, they relased their second album called Move Along, this time with Interscope Records instead of Doghouse Records, which relased their first self-titled album. The CD sold much better than the first album, with Top 20 hit, Move Along and Top 10 hits It Ends Tonight and Dirty Little Secret.
