Mark Hoppus Biography

Mark Allan Hoppus was born in Ridgecrest California to Connie and Tex Hoppus. Hoppus spent much of his early years in the small town of Ridgecrest until his parents divorced when he was in the third grade which affected him greatly. Beginning in his freshman year Hoppus gained solace through music of The Smiths and The Cure. Hoppus lived in Fairfax Virginia (a suburb of Washington D.C.) during his early high school years and attended Annandale High School during his sophomore year; at this time he received his first bass and attended his first concert (They Might Be Giants). Hoppus received his first bass guitar as a gift from his father and earned money for a set of amplifiers by helping him paint his garage. Hoppus never took bass lessons instead he taught himself by playing to bands such as the Descendents The Cure and Bad Religion. Hoppus played by himself and sang in the band Pier 69 primarily covering songs by The Cure and recorded a live demo with a group named The Attic Children in 1988 featuring covers of The Cure songs.
