Wes was raised and educated in Kansas City, attending Park Hill High School.
Puddle of Mudd was formed in 1993, heavily influenced by the grunge movement. The band won several competitions and released their first two albums – “Stuck” (1994) and “Abrasive” (1997). In 1999, some members left the band and Wes Scantlin took over as the lead vocalist. The breakthrough of the band came with singles including “Blurry” (2001) and “She Hates Me” (2002) from the album “Come Clean” (2001). Despite achieving worldwide success, the album “Life on Display” (2003) was mostly overlooked in Europe after the initial single “Away From Me” (2003). In 2007, the release of the album “Famous” and participation in numerous concerts further added to Wes’ increasing net worth.
In 2009, the band recorded the album “Vol. 4 Songs in the Key of Love and Hate” and released the single “Shook Up the World” via iTunes, which was also included in the compilation album for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.
During 2010, the band toured in the USA with groups Shinedown, Sevendust, and Chevelle. In 2011, the album “re:(disc)overed” was released, featuring cover versions of songs by various artists. Despite experiencing personnel changes, the group continued their performances and was preparing for a new album in 2012.
However, Scantlin also faced personal challenges. His marriage with Jessica Nicole Smith ended in 2013, and he faced legal issues related to driving under the influence and domestic violence. His behavior also led to several incidents, including an armed stand-off with police at his Los Angeles residence.
