Biography
The American Rock Pop Group Onerepublic is becoming popular after the release of the Single Apologize in 2007. Now the musicians reap the fruits of glory, and there was a period when with future stars recorded studio terminated contract unilaterally. This event happened 2 months before the release of the debut album. Failure almost became the cause of the collapse of the team. But the musicians managed to overcome the black strip and become a popular group whose songs are in the first positions of world charts.The history of creation and composition
In 2002, Ryan Tedder arrives in Los Angeles with the firm intention to engage in music. As the star tells, he arrived at the city without a penny in his pocket and with debts. To buy sound recording equipment, the guy had to sell the car.
The first 2 years were severe, but during this period Ryan finds musicians who become a bones of the group. Together with Tedder, a guitarist Zach Filkins entered, the second guitarist became Drew Brown, on the drums of Jerrod Bettis, Tim Myers plays on the bass guitar.
Guys, like all novice teams, dream of world glory. Long thought what the name would give a team. I was looking for a simple name, which would be clear to everyone wherever they arrived.
"Initially, we were just called Republic. Even now I sometimes want the name to remain so. I like his simplicity. The name appeared because this word seems very strong to us, "says the history of the creation of a group leader and vocalist Ryan Tedder.In 2003, the musicians sign a contract with the Columbia Records label and work on a debut album. The team name had to change a little, as other commands work under the name Republic. So the group becomes onerepublic.
For 2.5 years, musicians write songs for their first album. They go to the Coachella festival and return, inspired by new ideas and work more with great desire.
But 2 months before the debut, the company unilaterally terminates a contract with Onerepublic.
"They fired us, Katie Perry and Jonas brothers on the same day. There are several reasons that we do not know everything. The main reason was the change of management, "the day of Ryan recalls.According to Tedder, later representatives of the label apologized for the decision, calling him wrong. But then the musicians were upset by failure. Saved them Internet, where Ryan had previously laid out compositions. In the social network MySpace, on that year, Onerepublic turned out to be the most listened group.
The perspective of the team of Ryan Tedder saw the famous producer Timbaland, who signed a contract with musicians. So they began to work with the Mosley Music Group label.

However, according to the ONEREPUBlic soloist, the success of Apologiz was not so joyful for the team. Tedder explains that at that moment the song turned out to be stronger than the group, and popularity contributed to the name of Timbaland, who had a large part of Glory. The musicians had the feeling that they were a supplement.
"Then we decided that with each our speech we would prove that it was still our show," Ryan is divided into an interview.The composition of the collective was finally formed in 2007. Instead of Jerrod Bettis, the place behind the drums is occupied by Eddie Fisher. From the team also left another participant - Tim Myers. Instead, a bass guitarist Brenta Kattsl comes. The group with him is changing with him, since the musicians begin to use the cello, who masterfully owns the bassist.
