OneRepublic Biography

OneRepublic was founded in Colorado in 2003, largely after the band’s performances on its own MySpace page created enough of a buzz to garner them a contract with Mosley Music Group in 2006. The origins of the group go back to the mid 1990’s, when Zach Filkins and Ryan Tedder became friends and band mates while still in high school. The two drifted apart, until Tedder relocated to Los Angeles and began a career as a songwriter; he eventually convinced Filkins to move out there with him and resume performing together, this time as the band OneRepublic.

OneRepublic’s debut single, “Apologize,” was an enormous hit, reaching into the top 40 and breaking records for weekly airplay. Its inclusion in such hit television shows as The Hills, Ghost Whisperer, and Gossip Girl also helped to bring OneRepublic to the forefront of the music mainstream, just in time for the release of Dreaming Out Loud, their debut album on which the song appears. Additional hits from the album include “Stop and Stare,” “Say (All I Need),” and “Mercy,” and another single, “Come Home,” which was featured on the television series The Vampire Diaries. Eventually, the album also sold two million copies worldwide and reached gold status in the United States.

Since that time, OneRepublic has released the additional albums Waking Up (2009) and Native (2013), bringing audiences the hit singles: “All the Right Moves,” “Secrets,” “Marchin On,” “Good Life,” “Feel Again,” “If I Lose Myself,” and “Counting Stars,” earning the band a Grammy nomination and American Music Award nomination. With the current lineup of Tedder, Filkins, Drew Brown, Eddit Fisher, and Brent Kutzle, OneRepublic continues to perform and record, with plans for additional upcoming tours and albums.
