He also produced demos for other songwriters and labels. Bent on a career as an artist, he moved to California from Oklahoma/Nashville and started his own group OneRepublic, with former soccer teammate and friend Zach Filkins from Colorado Springs Christian School. He hooked up with Timbaland, the well known hip-hop producer, and began producing music for other artist while honing his own sound with his band OneRepublic. His worked includes R&B, hip hop, rock, pop, dance/techno and he is now one of the most sought after song writers, and record producer today because he brings home the hits.
He is the writer, producer and singer of “Apologize” by OneRepublic, the Timbaland remix version in 2007 which is the best selling single of the decade internationally, only to be followed by the single “Bleeding Heart” by Leona Lewis which he wrote in 2007, according to SoundScan.
