Wes Scantlin was born in St. Joseph, Missouri. Raised in Kansas City, he attended Park Hill High School. He left after high school, and formed Puddle of Mudd in Los Angeles. They are now famous for songs such as "She Fucking Hates Me" and "Blurry".

Before the current band formed, Paul Phillips named the band Puddle Of Mudd.

The band is signed to Fred Durst's record label, Flawless Records .
