Stephan Jenkins

They played small gigs around the bay for years and were, for the most part, unknown until they were signed in 1995 by Elektra Records. Jenkins has written or co-written every song on the band's four studio albums and one extended play album. He has seemed to favor the Gibson Explorer guitars over most other electric models in his career, particularly during live performances. Jenkins has either sued or been sued by many associated with Third Eye Blind, although several of those lawsuits have been settled out of court.

Jenkins produced Vanessa Carlton's second album Harmonium (2004) and co-wrote four tracks, including the lead single "White Houses". He co-produced Heroes & Thieves, Carlton's third album, with Irv Gotti, 7 Aurelius, and Rick Rubin.

Jenkins made his acting debut with a cameo in the film Rock Star (2001) playing Bradley, the lead singer of the fictional band Black Babylon. He has also appeared in the former Nickelodeon series All That, and he appeared on the MTV candid camera show Punk'd when Vanessa Carlton was the subject of one of Ashton Kutcher's practical jokes. In perhaps his biggest acting stint, he starred in Art of Revenge (2003), in which he played the lead role Matthew Kane. Read Less
