==Early life==
Ruess was born on February 26, 1982, in Iowa City, Iowa to Larry Ruess and Bess Zinger. He is the younger of two children, having one sister named Elizabeth.〔Masley, Ed (February 9, 2013). "(How Nate Ruess of Fun. went from Glendale to Grammys )", ''The Arizona Republic''. Retrieved May 6, 2013.〕 His uncle, John Ruess, was a performer on Broadway and served as an influence for Ruess' musical ventures.
In 1986, his family moved to a farm in Glendale, Arizona, due to repeated bouts of pneumonia Ruess faced as a child.〔Lawler, Joe. ("fun. having fun at the top" ), ''Des Moines Register'', Iowa, 7 April 2012. Retrieved on 5 March 2013.〕 Ruess remained in Arizona throughout his childhood and attended Deer Valley High School, graduating in 2000. During his time in school, Ruess played in punk bands and upon graduation chose to pursue music professionally. In an interview with ''American Songwriter'' Ruess states, "I'm not one to take lessons, so I decided that the only way I was going to learn how to sing, if what they were saying was true, was to go in my car and put on any sort of music from a vocalist that might be really hard to mimic, turn it on as loud as possible and try to hit all those notes". He took a job in a law firm as a way to support himself while he pursued his musical ambitions.〔(Interview & Show Preview: fun. @ Showbox SoDo Friday, 6/24 ), Back Beat Seattle, 2011-06-22. Retrieved 2012-04-10.〕
In 2002, at the age of 19, he launched the band the Format with his longtime best friend, Sam Means. The Format was his first musical endeavor to gain widespread attention.
