OneRepublic

OneRepublic Featuring  Ryan Tedder,anthemic songwriting became famous in 2007, when "apology" to 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 musical minor leagues before its release, with Tedder divides his time between the group's work and production gigs for other artists. Tedder and Zach Filkins formed the band in 2002 and moved to Los Angeles shortly thereafter, adding keyboardist Drew Brown, bassist / cellist Brent Kutzle and drummer Eddie Fisher to the programming process. OneRepublic then signed with Sony BMG's Columbia label in 2003, three years later, however, the group returned to the performance at Coachella to find themselves removed from the list of Columbia.Nevertheless, the popularity of OneRepublic has continued to soar on MySpace, and Tedder helped raise the profile of the group writing songs for artists like Blake Lewis and Hilary Duff. Hip-hop producer Timbaland (with whom Tedder has worked for several years) took note of the hearing and signed OneRepublic group to own Mosley Music Group, a joint venture with Interscope Records. Timbaland also remixed one of the most promising group of tracks, "Apologize," and included in the album alone in 2007 Timbaland Presents Shock Value. The song quickly became a platinum disc single in many countries, breaking the record played in the UK and selling an unprecedented 4.3 million digital downloads in the U.S. alone.
