Career
1991–2003: Films, Initial Guitar Lessons, and The Amanda Show
Bell started acting at the age of five,[9] encouraged by his father who attempted to put him into Little League Baseball and other sports with no success before finding Bell's talent in public speaking and his confidence when impersonating people he'd watch on television.[8] He stated "I was five, and my dad kind of said, 'Hey, you wanna be an actor?' and I said, 'Sure,' that kind of thing, you know? I was kind of put into it by my dad but, you know, good. I really love it, and I still do it." Bell's first televised commercial was for Whirlpool Appliances. "I had to sit under a tree and eat a Popsicle," Bell later stated, "I thought, 'I could get used to this.'"[10][11] His first television show appearance was on a 1994 episode of Home Improvement.[12] He appeared in the 1996 film Jerry Maguire,[13] and had a small role in the Seinfeld episode "The Frogger" in 1998.[14] In 1999, he acted in a commercial for Pokémon Red and Blue[15] and in the movie Dragon World: The Legend Continues.[16] In 2000, he was nominated for a Young Artist Award for his role as Cage Redding in the made-for-television film The Jack Bull. He began to play guitar at the age of twelve.[17] He received his first official guitar lessons from Roger Daltrey when he starred with him in the 2001 film Chasing Destiny.[18] From 1999 until the show was cancelled in 2002, Bell was a featured performer on The Amanda Show.[18] He also made a guest appearance on the series The Nightmare Room.[19]
2003–09: Drake & Josh, Telegraph, and It's Only Time
In 2003, Bell was cast as Drake Parker alongside Amanda Show costar Josh Peck on the Nickelodeon series Drake & Josh.[20][21] His song, "Found a Way" was featured as the theme song and is therefore included on the show's soundtrack, released on February 22, 2005. During this time period, he appeared as himself on Nickelodeon's Zoey 101 in the episode "Spring Fling", where he performed "Highway to Nowhere", which is also featured on the Drake & Josh soundtrack.[22][23] He also had his first of three consecutive wins at the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards for "Favorite TV Actor" . In 2005, Bell co-starred alongside Drake & Josh co-star Miranda Cosgrove with Dennis Quaid in Yours, Mine and Ours.[24] Telegraph, Bell's debut album, was released independently on August 23, 2005.[25] The album includes 12 tracks. All the tracks were written only by Bell with the exception of "Highway to Nowhere".[26][27] Being an independent release, the album ran out of print, and was re-released on August 7, 2007.[28] "Down We Fall" was played on an episode of Drake & Josh titled "Number 1 Fan".[29] In 2005, Bell performed with Hawk Nelson in a video for the Hawk Nelson song called "Bring 'Em Out," which was featured in the movie Yours, Mine and Ours.[30] The studio version was included on Hawk Nelson's EP Bring 'Em Out[31] and on the special edition of Hawk Nelson Is My Friend.[32]
In 2006, Bell signed with Universal Motown.[33] Bell's second album, It's Only Time, was released on December 5, 2006.[34] Bell wrote all of the songs, however, they were all co-written with either C.J. Abraham, Michael Corcoran, or both.[1] It reached Number 81 on Billboard's Top 200.[35] It also charted on the Billboard Rock Charts at number 21.[35] The album was more successful in Mexico, reaching number 4 in the Mexico Top 100.[36] It is his first album to chart on the Billboard 200, and his highest-selling album with more than 178,000 copies sold in the United States as of 2012.[37] He released the lead single, "I Know", on October 17, 2006.[38] The video for "I Know" was released in October 2006. The single topped the Mexican music charts.[39] "I Know" also appeared on the 2010 compilation album, Pure Love Songs Vol. 2.[40] His song from It's Only Time, "Makes Me Happy", peaked at number 3 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles Chart, which is an extension of the Hot 100. The song was featured in the Drake & Josh series finale "Really Big Shrimp".[41] The song also made an appearance on the Pop 100 at number 67[42] and on the Hot Digital Songs chart at number 45.[43] Because of the song's popularity, on October 16, 2007, the Radio Disney single edit version of his song "Makes Me Happy", was released on iTunes.[44] He also featured on the theme song for the show iCarly, "Leave It All to Me," with his Drake & Josh co-star Miranda Cosgrove.[45] The music video for the song was released on Cosgrove's Vevo YouTube channel on September 28, 2010.[46] The song took the lowest position on the Hot 100, peaking at number 100. It also peaked on the Pop 100 at number 83. He performed some Christmas songs in the Merry Christmas, Drake & Josh movie, including "Jingle Bells" and "Christmas Promise". A DVD entitled Drake Bell in Concert was released on December 16, 2008. The video was unable to crack the 2008 or 2009 Top 100 in the U.S.,[47] but did chart on the Top 100 Mexican album charts, peaking at number 81.[48] The DVD contains footage of him and his band live on stage while they toured in Mexico, filmed during five sold out fall nights.[49] It also features 2 new songs and five covers, all of which are exclusive to the DVD.[50] In the spring, Bell had a starring role in the comedy spoof film Superhero Movie.[51][52] Bell recorded a theme song featuring his co-star Sara Paxton for the film called "Superhero!

Bell said he decided to release A Reminder because he hasn't put out new music in a few years and "a full album will probably not happen until next year."[66] Bell was also sued by Fields, the producer of the EP, for 9 songs at 9,000 dollars each, totaling up to 81,000.
