He replaced Maurer as the singer in an odd switching of roles and continues with the band as [frontman](/source/Frontman). Walker was born in [Seattle](/source/Seattle), Washington. Although he did not become lead singer of Suburban Legends until 2005, he previously sang on "Brian and Vince Experience (The Rap)" on *[Origin Edition](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Origin_Edition&action=edit&redlink=1)* (on which he was the lead guitarist), "Desperate" from *[Suburban Legends](/source/Suburban_Legends_(Tim_Remix))*, "Powerful Game" on *Rump Shaker*, and "Rose Tint My World."

He is also a former member of [Scott Klopfenstein](/source/Scott_Klopfenstein)'s side project, [The Littlest Man Band](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Littlest_Man_Band&action=edit&redlink=1).
