. He grew up in a devout Christian

asking him to play drums for them. He has been nearly blind in his left eye since birth. Gillespie married Jamie Anne Robertson on November 25, 2006, and moved to Salt Lake City, Utah
. A year later, Aaron and Jamie moved back to Florida, and they currently reside in Tarpon Springs, Florida. It has been confirmed over Twitter that Jamie and Aaron are expecting a baby soon. Jamie posted on Tumblr on April 17, 2011, " But [Aaron] will be back May 1st and on May 2nd we have our first ultrasound!!!! And then we leave for a cruise! Very excited for May 2nd! Be praying for twins! and no were not crazy."

and first began to add clean vocals on Underoath's third album The Changing of Times
, which shifted Underoath's original extreme metal music style into a more straightforward metalcore
sound and was released in 2002. After lead vocalist Dallas Taylor
parted with the band, Spencer Chamberlain
joined and the band began to change its style of music even more.
Most of the lyrics on the album They're Only Chasing Safety
are written by Gillespie and are about him ending a four year relationship. He stated to Alternative Press "I think I would've died if we didn't write those songs. I thought I had ruined someone's life. It's hard to explain, but you can't just pretend that things are great and go on and get married,". The follow-up to They're Only Chasing Safety, Define the Great Line
was released on June 20, 2006, it debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200 selling over 98,000 copies in its first week, the record was certified Gold by the RIAA on November 11, 2006, representing 500,000 shipped units of the album.
On April 5, 2010, Underoath announced that the band and Aaron had agreed to mutually part ways pending the end of their European tour. "We are taking this opportunity to sadly inform you the six of us have decided at the end of the current European tour, Aaron will no longer be playing in Underoath. This was not a decision made in haste but a thought out and prayed upon group agreement. It in no way affects any of the shows left on this tour. They will still be our best efforts and enjoyable experiences for all. For the future, Aaron will be pursuing other musical and ministry endeavors. As for the rest of us we will continue to work hard on the new Underoath record. We appreciate the love and support from everyone in the past and hope that all of us will continue to receive your support on our future paths. We love you guys."
On the same day, Gillespie posted this message on his personal blog:
. The band's debut album Southern Weather
was released on April 3, 2007 along with their first single, "Say This Sooner". The single reached a peak of #7 on the Billboard
's US Modern Rock Charts. Gillespie recorded every instrument on the Southern Weather album except for bass on a couple of tracks, with which Kenny Vasoli
from The Starting Line
helped. Gillespie continues to tour with The Almost. On November 24, 2008, The Almost released an EP entitled No Gift to Bring. On October 6, 2009 The Almost released another EP entitled Monster. On November 3, 2009 The Almost released their sophomore record Monster Monster
, in which the rest of the band mates were more incorporated in the writing and recording processes.
This album wasn't foreign territory for Gillespie, as he started leading worship at the age of 15. A major push, influence on the lyrical tone of the record is from his recent trip to Africa. In an interview with CBN.com, Gillespie recounted the experience and how it helped shape Anthem Song. He stated "I saw people worshiping God because He exists, because that's what we were created to do. I believe everybody worships something, whether it be your job or your family or a relationship or whatever. We were all made to worship just one, and that's Jesus. And it really, really messed me up, seeing these African people who have nothing worshiping God, just because He exists. It gave me the fuel to go and do this record and also convicted me to leave Underoath and to pursue this ministry area in my life."
and Timothy McTague shared duties in singing his vocal parts.
"Here is the story of my thumb. It’s a bit of a drama, I guess — one of those things where, in the end, hope and good prevail. I hope you like it. Last year, Underoath went on a headlining tour. I can’t tell you how stoked we were. It was long over due since it was the first time we had headlined off of our current record. Things were going incredible until about nine days into the trip when I got one of those routine drummer blisters and super glued it shut. I woke the next morning to find that I could barely pull on my pants, my thumb hurt so bad. It was pulsing and had a dark purple-ish hue. This kind of thing has happened before (not to sound tough or anything, but its true) so I just taped it up and played the show that night. I was in extreme pain for the whole the show, and afterwards I started to wonder why this hurt so bad. I mean, my thumb had never been hurt before to the point where it messed up my playing. I went to see the crowd paramedic, you know the little station beside the stage. She told me that it needed to be lanced (cut open and drained) and that she could do it, no problem. So she lanced it and I wrapped up my thumb, ate an In and Out burger and went to sleep. While we were driving to Vegas I woke up and my thumb was even more swollen than before. Also, there were red lines crawling up my arm [a sign of blood poisoning - ed]. Immediately, I went to the emergency room, got a shot, an IV and some minor surgery. It was weird and I was a baby about it. After it was over, I had to go home for a few days, but I made it back just in time to record our live CD/DVD Survive Kaleidoscope."
