The band's second album, Waking Up (2009), produced the singles "All the Right Moves", "Secrets", "Marchin On", and "Good Life", with the latter reaching the top ten of the US Billboard Hot 100. The album was later certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The second single, "Stop and Stare", mirrored its predecessor's success. Its lead single, "Apologize", was notably remixed by Timbaland, becoming a huge international success, reaching number one in sixteen countries and subsequently earning them a Grammy Award nomination. In 2007, OneRepublic released their debut album, Dreaming Out Loud. The lead single of that album, "Apologize", was released on April 30, 2006, on Myspace and received some recognition there, becoming number one on the Myspace charts. The album was originally scheduled for release on June 6, 2006, but the group was dropped by Columbia two months before the album ever came out. They made their first album with producer Greg Wells during the summer and fall of 2005 at his studio, Rocket Carousel, in Culver City, California. The band first achieved commercial success on Myspace as an unsigned act. In late 2003, after OneRepublic played shows throughout the Los Angeles area, a number of record labels approached the band with interest, but the band ultimately signed with Velvet Hammer, an imprint of Columbia Records. It also consists of guitarist Drew Brown, bassist and cellist Brent Kutzle, and drummer Eddie Fisher. OneRepublic is an American pop rock band formed in Colorado Springs, Colorado in 2002 by lead vocalist Ryan Tedder and guitarist Zach Filkins. ![]() Advanced players ages 13-21 are invited to audition.OneRepublic were a contestant on Season 3 of XVoice.They were a part of Team Pennies/Jay, and were eliminated in the Battle Rounds. 5 with Steven Sharp Nelson at Lyceum Music Festival this year! Work up-close and personal with Steven and other amazing professional musicians like the concertmaster of the London Symphony and Rotterdam Orchestra. Perform “Beethoven’s 5 Secrets” and the entire Beethoven Symphony No. “Don’t only practice your art, but force your way into its secrets, for it and knowledge can raise men to the divine.” This piece and video are dedicated to him. ![]() He was a true master of music, blessed by God. There is no doubt Beethoven discovered many of the “secrets” of art - people all over the world enjoy them every day. He believed that art itself had “secrets” that had to be “forced into” in order to obtain art’s highest level. And yet, he wrote his life’s greatest works after becoming deaf. Imagine that…one of the greatest composers that ever lived could hardly hear. His most prominent secret that he desperately tried to keep from the public and that caused him to be considered extremely eccentric, irritable, and hermit-like was his “weakness.” He was deaf during most of his life. What are Beethoven’s secrets? He had many. Try to guess where they are and where they come from! We used 5 different melodies from the 4 movements of Beethoven’s 5th Symphony (not including the “bridge” the orchestra plays in the middle). Steven Sharp Nelson had soloed with the orchestra the previous year and loved the spirit and the talent that the orchestra showed at such young ages (ages 13-18!) Together we developed the concept of “Beethoven’s 5 Secrets,” combining OneRepublic’s tune “Secrets” with melodies and moments from all four movements of Beethoven’s 5th Symphony. It combined two of the things we are working to accomplish - inviting people to classical music and inspiring young musicians. The American Heritage Lyceum Philharmonic (Youth Orchestra) and its director, Kayson Brown, approached us with this idea.
