OneRepublic leaped into the spotlight a few years ago due to Timbaland's remix of their song "Apologize." Many people still don't know that the geniuses behind the thoughtful lyrics aren't Timbaland or his writers. Rather, OneRepublic, an alternative rock band originally from Colorado, wrote (and recorded) the song long before Timbaland remixed it for his album. OneRepublic gained a following and a fan base, based on Timbaland's remix, but fans have stayed for the unique sound that OneRepublic provides. Fans of the group have been purchasing OneRepublic tickets like crazy after getting a taste of their true sound. OneRepublic's version of "Apologize," from their album Dreaming Out Loud, has a distinctly different sound than the version Timbaland remixed. It cannot be denied that the remix provided a stepping stone for OneRepublic to enter the spotlight and the mainstream music arena, and now OneRepublic is touring on a multi-national level.

OneRepublic began its musical journey in Colorado with the lead singer, Ryan Tedder. Tedder performed on an MTV show but didn't want to become a sell-out by sacrificing his musical integrity to be more "mainstream." Fortunately for Tedder, the musical artist Timbaland saw him on MTV and took an interest in the lead singer of what would become OneRepublic. Over the next two years, Tedder learned all he could from Timbaland, ultimately returning to Colorado to put together his band. Tedder and his drummer went to LA, where they faced being actual starving artists. Says Tedder in his bio on OneRepublic.com, "I'm not proud of it…but to buy groceries I had to write bad checks." After a failed contract with Columbia records, OneRepublic suddenly became a sensation on the social networking website MySpace. When Tedder's old friend and mentor Timbaland opened his own record label, he quickly signed on OneRepublic as one of his first acts. The band took the sudden fame in stride. Brown, a bandmember, says, "We figured we would do what we love and not make any money…but we've blown past wherever we thought we'd get. We are now able to perform music that is getting heard by a pretty broad audience. This is bigger than us."

One thing is certain: OneRepublic has brought a fresh sound to the popular music scene that is an infusion of different genres, and they aren't going away any time soon. Rather, OneRepublic may represent a changing current in mainstream music; music that is an amalgam of a wide variety of genres and influences, music with an undeniable power.

Artist Info

Featuring the anthemic songwriting of Ryan Tedder, OneRepublic rose to prominence in 2007, when "Apologize" began its reign as the most popular digital download in American history. Although the song proved to be a quick success, OneRepublic had spent five years touring the musical minor leagues before its release, with Tedder splitting his time between the band's work and production gigs for other artists. Tedder and Zach Filkins formed the band in 2002 and relocated to Los Angeles shortly thereafter, adding keyboardist Drew Brown, bassist/cellist Brent Kutzle, and drummer Eddie Fisher to the lineup in the process. OneRepublic then signed with Sony BMG's Columbia label in 2003; three years later, however, the bandmates returned from a performance at Coachella to find themselves dropped from Columbia's roster.
Nevertheless, OneRepublic's popularity continued to soar on MySpace, and Tedder helped raise the group's profile by penning songs for artists like Blake Lewis and Hilary Duff. Hip-hop producer Timbaland (with whom Tedder had already worked for several years) took notice of the group's audience and signed OneRepublic to his own Mosley Music Group, a joint venture with Interscope Records. Timbaland also remixed one of the group's most promising tracks, "Apologize," and included it on his own album, 2007's Timbaland Presents Shock Value. The song quickly became a platinum-selling single in many countries, breaking airplay records in the U.K. and selling an unprecedented 4.3 million digital downloads in America alone.
Later that year, OneRepublic stepped out on their own with Dreaming Out Loud, a debut album filled with piano-fueled songwriting and pop/rock melodies. The album quickly went gold, and "Apologize" continued to top the singles charts in multiple countries. Another Tedder-penned track, Leona Lewis' "Bleeding Love," experienced similar success at the same time, thus making Tedder one of the year's most celebrated songwriters. OneRepublic began writing songs for a second album in 2008, and the group later decamped to Colorado Springs to avoid outside distractions. Although initially planned for a summer release, Waking Up wasn't completed until September 2009. "All the Right Moves," the album's lead single, was released to radio that same month, while the entire album followed in November. In 2013, OneRepublic returned with their third studio album, Native, featuring the singles "Feel Again," "If I Lose Myself," and their biggest hit to date, "Counting Stars." During the group's subsequent extensive world tour, a deluxe version of Native was released, featuring the hit "Love Runs Out," which reached number 15 on the Hot 100 and was a Top 10 hit in several other countries.
