Enders began playing guitar after being inspired by watching his step dad play in a band. Left-handed, Enders taught himself how to play his step dad's old right-handed guitar.

In February 2001, Enders along with guitarist Jim Sacco, bassist Sergio Anello and drummer Jeff Kummer formed The Early November. In 2003, after the release of their first EP For All Of This, the band released their debut full length album "The Room's Too Cold".

In 2004, Enders started his own solo project I Can Make a Mess Like Nobody's Business, releasing the self-titled album on October 26, 2004. Enders has stated that I Can Make a Mess Like Nobody's Business "was a one-album thing".

Recording of the third Early November album began in February 2005. The album, titled "The Mother, the Mechanic, and the Path", was a triple disc concept album with an entwining plot of a torn family, from the perspective of a growing child. The album took over a year to complete due to a multitude of issues.

Before conceptualizing "The Mother, the Mechanic, and the Path", Enders contemplated leaving the music business and possibly going into retail or construction.

Enders recently announced in "Alternative Press" magazine that he plans on recording a solo album in the near future. [http://www.absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?t=241062] Ace has started a new project Ace Enders and A Million Different People. For a moment, he was working on a band called Kings for Queens, but shortly after entering the studio he decided to pursue A Million Different People instead.

Enders has plans to continue running and developing his label, "Regular Music", with his wife and help from former band mate Jeff Kummer. Enders founded an organization called The Sound of Evolution. It is "devoted to exploring and experimenting with solutions for creating a symbiotic relationship between music and the modern world." It is trying to reconnect the link between artists, their music, and their fans.

In the summer of 2007, Enders took out a loan to build a studio in the basement of a shopping center. After three weeks of work, building finished and Pink Space Recording was created. After the studio was finished, Enders spent two straight days making demos that would later be named "From a Daze" and "Emergency". Enders signed on with manager Lucas Keller to work on Ace Enders and A Million Different People. He is also confirmed for the full Angels & Airwaves US tour in early 2008. Enders put out an 8-track album called "The Secret Wars" available for free download on June 13 on Fuse.tv [cite web|url=http://www.fuse.tv/music/the-worm/|title=Fuse.tv's The Worm|work=Fuse TV|accessdate=2008-06-15] . He recorded them in his own studio. He plans to release another album which was supposed to be due out in September, but because of complications with the record label, will be pushed back around winter/early 2009 and will be titled "When I Hit the Ground". Because of the album being pushed back Enders plans on releasing another free album. "When I Hit the Ground" will contain a full-band version of the song "Bring Back Love (Year 2020)" which appears on "The Secret Wars" with just piano and guitar accompaniment.
