## Career

### 2004–present: The Cab

DeLeon and Cash Colligan first began playing music together at [Liberty High School (Henderson, Nevada)](/source/Liberty_High_School_(Henderson,_Nevada)) and recorded demos as a duo which they put up on their [MySpace](/source/MySpace) page.[7] At this time, future guitarist Ian Crawford went to school in Auburn, WA and started out playing his guitar in talent shows and posting them on YouTube. DeLeon asked drummer Alex Johnson, who was playing in a local hardcore band, to join The Cab. In late 2005, it became a full band with guitarist Paul Garcia, guitar/pianist Alex Marshall, and drummer Alex Johnson, playing its first show at The Alley in Las Vegas. The band signed to local label Olympus Records in January 2006[8] but released no material. [Spencer Smith](/source/Spencer_Smith_(musician)) of [Panic! at the Disco](/source/Panic!_at_the_Disco) helped them sign to [Decaydance Records](/source/DCD2_Records) in May 2007.[9] Shortly after this, the band's members graduated from high school.[10] During this time they decided to replace Garcia with Ian Crawford, who moved from Washington to join the band.[11]

The band released their first studio album *[Whisper War](/source/Whisper_War)*, on April 29, 2008, featuring [Brendon Urie](/source/Brendon_Urie) of [Panic! at the Disco](/source/Panic!_at_the_Disco) and [Patrick Stump](/source/Patrick_Stump) of [Fall Out Boy](/source/Fall_Out_Boy) on "One of Those Nights", co-written by Stump and the first single from the CD. The video for "One of Those Nights" features members of both Panic! at the Disco and [Pete Wentz](/source/Pete_Wentz) and Patrick Stump of Fall Out Boy.[12][13][14]

On August 19, 2009, bassist Cash Colligan announced that he would also be leaving the band.[15] On June 22, 2011, The Cab announced on their [website](https://web.archive.org/web/20110716224304/http://www.thecabrock.com/2011/06/22/change/) that they were departing from their label [Fueled by Ramen](/source/Fueled_by_Ramen) and [Decaydance Records](/source/DCD2_Records) before finally releasing their new album, *[Symphony Soldier](/source/Symphony_Soldier)*. The band then release their second studio album *[Symphony Soldier](/source/Symphony_Soldier)* was released on August 23, 2011,.[16] Around the time of the release of "Symphony Soldier" the band started to experience lineup changes. DeLeon is the only consistent member of The Cab at this point.

After remaining independent for over a year, on August 31, 2012, The Cab announced that they had signed a record deal with [Universal Republic](/source/Universal_Republic). With the signing to the record label, in late 2012, the band stated, during an interview, that they have begun work on their new album, to be released in mid-2014. An EP, *[Lock Me Up](/source/Lock_Me_Up)*, was released on April 29, 2014.

### Bohnes

On October 31, 2015, DeLeon introduced his solo musical project, title Bohnes, uploading a minute-long teaser music video.[17] The following month, he released his debut single, "Guns and Roses", accompanied with its music video, which premiered on [Alternative Press](/source/Alternative_Press_(magazine)).[18] On December 17, 2015, he released another track, titled "Middle Finger".[19]

On March 4, 2016, he released the single "Witchcraft".[20]

On September 22, 2017, DeLeon released the single "Six Feet Under" with its music video premiering on the same day. In tribute to the [2017 Las Vegas shooting](/source/2017_Las_Vegas_shooting), which took place on October 1, 2017, DeLeon released the song "702"; all proceeds from the acoustic track were donated to the Las Vegas Victims' Fund.[21] Speaking about "702", DeLeon stated: "Las Vegas isn't about the neon lights, it isn't about the big names on the marquees or the fancy hotels with the chocolates on the pillows. Las Vegas isn't about the nightclubs, the world class chefs and restaurants. It's not about the gambling or the dollar signs. Last week, we found out what Las Vegas really is. What it has always been. What it will always be."

The song "Six Feet Under" was remixed by producer/dj Badhabit and released on October 20, 2017,[22] followed by an acoustic version released a week later.[23] On November 17, he released the single "My Friends".[citation needed] The song was remixed by various artists and the remixes were released together inside the "My Friends: Remix EP".[24]

The name comes from [Frank Sinatra](/source/Frank_Sinatra), a major influence on DeLeon, and a blog post DeLeon has written on his blog, called Black Sheep. The number 42799 related to Sinatra, because it was the number of Sinatra's mug shot.[28]
