"Craigafer (or maybe it's just Craig) Mabbit hails from Pheonix,Arizona. Craig used to be the frontman of the post-hardcore/metal band called Blessthefall, he was(and still is) the frontman with the haunting, crisp, epic, but soft and harmonic singing voice. But after some hard times in his life, Craig decided he needed a little break and he needed to go home. So during Blessthefall's 2007 European Tour with Silverstein and The Vincent Black Shadow, Craig left temporarily due to personal problems. When Craig decided he was ready to go back to Blessthefall, he AIMed Eric Lambert(guitarist of Blessthefall) and Eric's reply was, "We don't want you back in the band." After many tries to get back into the band, he decided he was going to front A Skylit Drive(post-hardcore/metal band from Lodi, California). Somewhere within that time, he made a phone call to Escape The Fate's manager(Joey/One Moment Management), this phone call was an accident, and some words were exchanged while Craig asked Joey how things were going with Escape The Fate. Joey informed Craig that Escape The Fate were on the brink of breaking up, and that they were singer-less due to Ronnie Radke(ex lead vocalist for ETF)'s not-so-smart stunts. Craig then decided that he would pitch in and help them play shows for a while, he would help them until they were ready to get back on their feet. So Craig practiced with the band(Max Green-Bass/Vocals, Robert Ortiz-Drums, and Bryan-Guitar/Vocals) and learned some lyrics, because I'm sure he already knew a few from touring with the band in the past while fronting Blessthefall(Black On Black Tour). Pretty soon Craig was able to play a show with them at the sports/music festival held in Las Vegas(ETF's hometown), called Extreme Thing. Craig got many boo's and many insults from the fans, but he kept strong and just held his head up and did his job greatly, which is possibly one of the reasons why so many people look up to him and are inspired by him, because of him having to go through with that, but still performing so greatly and staying so strong. Craig was born on April 9th, 1987 In Glendale, Arizona at the Good Samaritans Hospital at 9:50 AM. From then, his parents named him Craig(or maybe it was Craigafer) Edward Mabbit. His nationalities are Spanish and Irish. As of this current day, he lives in Pheonix Arizona and has a beatiful daughter named Leila Rose Mabbit.In an interview a while ago, Craig stated that he enjoyed "slaying noobz" with Matt Good(Guitarist/Vocalist of From First To Last) and if he weren't in the music business he'd be a stay at home dad.
