Īfter the experience, Jenkins moved into the direction of starting up a rock band instead. The group broke up shortly afterwards, and while short-lived, it was in the group that Jenkin's first developed connections in the industry, and wrote the first iteration of what would become Third Eye Blind's biggest hit, " Semi-Charmed Life". The two were in talks of being signed with Capitol Records, but Jenkins did not see eye to eye on the label's views on the musical direction or what music producer they would work with, and negotiations fell through. The two managed to attract some attention from record labels - enough to get one of their few recorded songs "Just Wanna Be Your Friend" on a soundtrack for the television drama Beverly Hills, 90210. Due to legal issues from the musical group Tuck & Patti, the duo later changed their name to "Puck and Zen". Originally, Jenkins started his music career as one half of an interracial rap duo "Puck and Natty" with musician Herman Anthony Chunn, who went by the stage name "Zen". The band's origins trace back to the early 1990s, with frontman Stephan Jenkins writing music, but struggling to put and hold together a consistent musical lineup.

Third Eye Blind has sold around 12 million records worldwide. Several songs were a commercial success as well, with " Semi-Charmed Life", " Jumper", and " How's It Going to Be", all reaching the Top 10 of the US Billboard Hot 100, and " Never Let You Go" reaching the Top 20. The band found commercial success in the late 1990s, with Third Eye Blind and Blue certified platinum six times and single platinum in the United States, respectively. After Kopp was replaced by Colin Creev, a sixth studio album, Screamer (2019) was released, and a seventh studio album, Our Bande Apart, was released on September 24, 2021. The new lineup lead to increased output with less time between releases - Dopamine (2015), and a string of EPs, We Are Drugs (2016) and Thanks for Everything (2018). The band's lineup stabilized again in the mid-2010s, adding Kryz Reid (lead guitar), Alex Kopp (keyboards), and Alex LeCavalier (bass guitar). The band released Out of the Vein in 2003 and Ursa Major in 2009 with guitarist Tony Fredianelli, but parted ways with him shortly afterwards, leaving only Jenkins and Hargreaves as the remaining core members. The band continued, but with many line-up changes and long gaps between album releases for the next 15 years.
Shortly after the release of the band's second album in 1999, Blue, with the same line-up, Cadogan was released from the band under controversial circumstances. The band released their self-titled debut album in 1997, with the band largely consisting of Jenkins (vocals, rhythm guitar), Cadogan (lead guitar), Arion Salazar (bass guitar), and Brad Hargreaves (drums). After years of lineup changes in the early and mid-1990s, the songwriting duo of Stephan Jenkins and Kevin Cadogan signed the band's first major-label recording contract with Elektra Records in 1996. Third Eye Blind is an American rock band formed in San Francisco, California, in 1993.
