He developed a great interest for punk rock from his early teens. He struggled with his studies and always used to play guitar. He found the inspiration from his father who had gifted him his first guitar.
Tom was introduced to Mark Hoppus during his high school days, Hopus shared the same interest in music as DeLonge, later introducing Hoppus to Scott Raynor, the three formed the band Blink 182.
Blink 182 enjoyed immense success, becoming one of the biggest bands of the 1990s and 2000s. Due to Raynor’s excessive drinking, Travis Barker was given the chance to place him in the band as the main drummer.
The group took a break in 2005, forming new bands among the members. Angels & Airwaves was created and had great success due to the fact the the members were already adored by fans all over the world.Blink-182 reformed in 2009, and released a new album in September 2011.
