- We're on a mission to go Behind The Wall with The Greatest Creatives in Music, Welcome to Episode 2! And in this episode we are meeting with the one and only Ryan Tedder of OneRepublic...
Ryan Tedder is one of the biggest singers & songwriters in the world, but you may not know his name. Yet, you probably know his 100 million record selling band which is currently the 4th most streamed group on Spotify: OneRepublic. And you may also know the hit songs he’s written with and for Adele, Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, Blackpink, Selena Gomez, Leona Lewis, and so many more. But what I bet almost no one knows is that Ryan was actually too scared to sing in front of people and too afraid to put his music out. So How? How did Ryan go from a scared kid to one of the biggest singers and songwriters in the world? Well, its about time we find out because my name is Daniel Wall and we’re going Behind The Wall with the one and only, Ryan Tedder! Let’s actually speak to Ryan about his incredible story, struggles with stagefright, why he sometimes wants to quit, and how I gave Ryan Tedder over 1 Million Followers.

Love everything about this video ❤ I took Ryan's songwriting class 2 years back, wrote my best song yet, it's gotten 200k on Spotify, quit my job to focus on music full time and I'm still going. I'm scraping by, literally no idea how I'm going to pay rent, but I'm doing what I love doing and praying it works out. Would love for him to hear that song! (it's called "Seven Kisses")
just listened on spotify man - it's dope! 🙌 keep it up you'll get there - you got a new subscriber
Amazing! So happy you enjoyed it, Sean! I took Ryan’s class several years back too. My favorite class on the whole monthly (now studio) platform. He really did a great job and I made one of my fav songs during the class as well. Wish you the best man! Will check out the song too!! 🔥 💯
@@DanielsWall I really loved that class too - I don't know if I just lucked out, but my group were super supportive. I'm still in touch with some of my classmates and wrote songs with two of them already. Which song was your fav from the class? I'll go have a listen! Also loved your vid with Julia Michaels - great work! 😊
sorry for butting in, but do you know where I can find more info about his classes?
@Lulu Firdaus sure thing, just look up "Ryan Tedder Studio class". Charlie Puth did one too which was good, but Ryan's was my fav
Song writers are one of the most under appreciated talents in the whole music/ entertainment industry
What he said about ageism really hit me cos I’m turning 40 next month and still crazy enough to carry on making music
Ryan is one of my biggest influences in my songwriting. Melody first! LEGEND!
100% feel you on this, ADHSo! Ryan’s inspired me for years as a songwriter, producer, entrepreneur and family man
not the interview i expected to see😮
#melodyfirst is literally my SoMe motto… no melody, no song! Love the interview! Subscribed!
Ryan is definitely as big as Chris Martin! He has influenced the music industry and transformed it in so many incredible ways.
Yes two of my favorites Chris Martin of "Coldplay"
Ryan tedder of "One Republic" both amazing..❤
Thank you for this interview! Ryan and OneRepublic is insanely underrated but he still does it like no other. Mad respect
It’s crazy how underrated they both are! Ryan one of the biggest songwriters in the world OneRepublic is the 4th most streamed group and band on Spotify (behind Coldplay, Imagine Dragons, and Maroon 5) happy you enjoyed the interview! Excited for you to see more 💯
Thanks for the love and support. Have you ever been to my concert?
The interview was awesome. I liked the fact that Ryan, whom that I am fan of, tells the truths about the industry and doesn't just create an unrealistic rosy picture. Looking forward to more interviews with Ryan in the upcoming years.
Thank You R A - completely agree, Ryan broke down a lot of the pieces of the industry in ways I’ve never seen or heard. Grateful for how much he shared about the music industry 🙌
Yes it was cool and so inspiring!
Ryan tedder literally deserves the whole world🌟🫶🏻greatest of all time
Ryan is my biggest inspiration. everything he went through to now following his dreams and now succeeding. I hope to meet him ine day.
Feel you on that - Definitely one of my biggest inspirations too, MasterClass in doing what you love and never stopping
He should be even more popular than he is. One Republic is such a great talent collectively. Drummer, guitarist, bass etc. Ryan is a force with the pen and his melodies. I truly enjoy listening to their music. There is not a song l do not like. I have songs of theirs that mean something to me. I lived for one. I grew up in a small town where a girl l went to school with, died at 16 of cystic fibrosis. She was a very nice person.
Lot of insight and gold here. thank you very much! Ryan is 100% right here, when he says the streams don't mean much. Because writers were never at the bargaining table between spotify and record companies. As a writer myself, I've had a handful of songs that have 8 digit streams. The sad thing is, 1 million views on youtube equate to about $63.85 USD in royalties directly to me as the composer. 1 million views is not a small number, but the idea that the royalties would barely cover a celebrating dinner with my other half is sad. Where the royalties are at, are radio, TV, and performance (especially at concerts). I've also felt that writing has become much more difficult in the last few years, with tiktok and reels, songs become more about marketing sensations than music melodies/stories. Hearing how even Ryan Tedder is needing to write 5x more songs to get only part as much success he got 5-10 years ago, lets me know, I'm not alone.
This is honestly one of my favorite interview show. You’re doing such a good job man
Wow!!!! This honestly means the world! I went on this journey to show the behind the scenes of music and I’m so happy you’re all going on that journey with me!
I always knew Ryan and OneRepublic in general were huge monsters in the industry, but i didn't know they were that big. Amazing person and incredibly talented man. Great interview
Thank you Benjamin!! OneRepublic is the 4th biggest group or band on Spotify right now which is amazing! Ryan is one of the biggest songwriters in the world, crazy!!
Incredible interview, one of the best I've seen. You actually let the artist talk and finish answering the question. The questions you ask are great too and I'd love to see more of these
Appreciate you Tegan! Many more on the way! :)
Ryan Tedder is one of my favourite songwriters and I love onerepublic’s music edit: I’m glad he admitted that he was super embarrassed to tell anybody because that’s the same way I am as a musician with singing😂
I’m the same way 😜 feel you on that
Man this is awesome. Honestly feel like we are sitting on the couch hanging. Keep this vibe/format/whatever !been watching you since you began - I am the same brother and enjoy how you take the extra effort in your comparisons and weave in some story and context. All the little tweaks here and there all create big differences. Knowing what really goes on is awesome and being able to have conversations that are real just, normal. Is great. U know A TON and it’s really how you gained another subscriber! U know your stuff my friend!!
THIS INTERVIEW IS A GODSEND, Ryan is so informative and I just love this channel so much. THANK YOU! If you ever wanted to interview an independent artist making music videos, producing, and touring - I'd love to do that. I think that'd be an interesting perspective - spotlighting unsigned artists and how their hustle differs from established artists. Big hug 🫂💙🪬
As a singer songwriter starting out in Nashville, this was an absolute masterpiece of content! Bravo man! Congratulations! 🫶🏼👏
I love this interview. Congrats Daniel in your new career field. Ryan Tedder is one of the most talented artists I have ever enjoyed listening to. Appreciate the humility in being very open to tell his story. Very good. Big ups 👍
Loved this video, there’s something about Ryan that I find very entertaining, the way he talks so eloquently, like he doesn’t even think what to say, it all just come out so naturally. The way he has an answer for everything instantly, so wise. And also the way he tells every story, like one of those teachers at school you loved to hear them because of the passionate way the tell everything. Very good video ❤
What a great conversation. Love Ryan's personality!
Love Ryan, and love OneRepublic. Seen them a couple times in concert, and its always a good time. His voice is amazing, he's an underrated talent (and the entire band is IMO) and honestly their music is just fun and energetic. Great interview.
Amazing Interview! One of the best I have ever seen. The questions were so perfect, unique and I didn't get the impression that he had answered it a thousand times before. Also I love that it feels like a "real" conversation from two people with the same passion. Ryan Tedder is my favorite Songwriter ever and this interview just confirmed my decision! Thanks so much Daniel!
Love this interview! Great to hear Ryan being so raw and open, learnt a lot!
Saw OneRepublic in Manila last February and he really is amazing. Been a fan since Apologize and I am glad I am supporting a very talented musician.
His rise to fame is quite remarkable! I am a fan! Ryan never stop writing and singing music! 🥰 Love you❤
As a songwriter, this is the best video I have seen in a long time - thanks for this!!
This is awesome. Love Ryan. That comment about there being no age limit kind of just gave me some comfort. 29 with 2 kids, gave up for a while, now I want to pursue again. Takes some of the pressure off mentally. Thanks for these interviews keep on doing it man!!!
Thank you CJ! So happy these interviews are connecting and inspiring you! Completely agree about the age piece - amazing to hear that even though it’s more “difficult” to have success now, it’s amazing that as long as you keep going, you’ll be closer to the goal than you were before
So glad I watched this interview… Thanks for sharing this! It was inspiring, insightful, & well done. Many thanks!!
Thanks for having these interview. Even as a non music person, its so inspiring to hear that even the most successful person in our eyes have times where he wants to quit
Ryan is super inspiring! Every time I hear a one republic song the lyrics resonate with me so deeply that I want to find out more about their journey. I’ve been searching for an interview to watch and finally here it is! Thank you for sharing ❤
Just a great share on here ❤❤
OneRepublic is my most favourite band! Unsurmountable.
I keep staying fan and support of your miraculious vibes.
I loved this interview!Very good job Daniel!You and Ryan are so spontaneous and it is a pleasure to listen to you..Ryan gives a lot of good messages, one in particuler is PERSEVERANCE! His success has taken time but he was always focused on it and so patient! Personnally I am a 1R fan since "Apologize" and can't wait to see them again in concert
Means a ton Elisabetta! Appreciate you - Runaway just came out by OneRepublic! :)
@@DanielsWallhi daniel do you know how can i meet ryan tedder, i dont like to show off but i'm one of the biggest songwriter that the world has'nt met yet and it's killing me how hard getting to this industry,it would be great if you can give me some advice or meeting with other artists or people from the industry who can help me with my music
He is EXTREMELY UNDERRATED as an individual. OneRepublic is not overrated obviously but so many people dont even know what is Ryan Tedder when they hear that name but sometimes its a road to success. Some people master their craft much better when they are "under the radar" .
Im shook this video doesn’t have 100k views already it’s amazing Thansk for the great content ❤❤❤❤ and insights into the world!
Wow, thank you John! I hope one day we can impact over 100,000 people with this video, but as long as it’s impacting people that want to go behind the wall with us, that’s all the matters! 💯 🔥 ♥️
I absolutely love Ryan’s story.
I remember watching apologize and instantly was hooked! ❤great interview and what a story!
@DanielsWall Thank you so much for this interview! Ryan Tedder and the music of OneRepublic has changed me as a person. It's hard to explain it but an over abundance of emotion runs through my body and soul when I listen. Embarrassing but I can't help it when the tears pour out. Love doesn't even begin to describe it, but something similar lol I love your interviews so keep them coming! I love your story, it is proof that dreams really do come true in this Wild Life we all live ❤ Oh @SeanFraye my favorite is "Better on You"!! So f'n great!! New follower here too 💖
Thanks for the love and support. Have you ever been to my concert?
He should get more credit for his talent, Ryan is amazing ❤
That's the goal of Behind The Wall - hoping to allow songwriters and people who work behind the scenes to be seen more and get more credit! :)
Ryan comes across as a really lovely man! Thank you for uploading this.
Ryan Tedder, the legend! One of my favorite humans and such a huge inspiration to me. I been waiting for this video since your teases on insta months back and you delivered- awesome interview, Daniel 👏🏽👏🏽 Love how you're shining a light on these incredible people behind the scenes (and also roasting Ryan's tiktok because he totally deserved that 😂). Keep up the amazing work! And we're going to easily achieve that 75k for you cause you deserve it 😌 Looking forward to future episodes 🙌🏽
Your comment means the world and having you along for the journey is amazing, Skeletonpuppets!! Appreciate your support always and excited for you to see more! 🎉🎉 I’m glad the interview delivered!! There was a ton of pressure on this because I respect Ryan and OneRepublic so much - wanted to make sure I did right by him. And 75k on the way (that video should be going up soon 😊)
Late to the party... This interview is soooo amazing! Thanks!
❤ Get well Ryan, sending Prayers, love and hugs too you. And thank you for letting your band's members talked, and introduce themselves too us. Since you down they need the experience. Right, Right. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
awesome interwiew!!!!🎉❤ thanks!!! i got so much from his songwriting course, really opened my eyes and i want to be a songwriter and producer too, it is the best thing
Appreciate you Michatroschka! 😊
Every time I watch something with Ryan I fall in love with him and one republic all over again. ❤
Thanks for the love and support. Have you ever been to my concert?
Great interview!! Always knew Ryan was going to be successful. Went to One Republic concert in 2017 in Camden, NJ over the bridge from Philadelphia and I was so impressed that I will never forget. I am so grateful that I got to see this interview and to have Ryan open up about his challenges and how he got successful by perseverance and determination. 🌟❤️🙏
Thanks for the love and support. Have you ever been to my concert?
Unfiltered conversation Interviews are interesting and really good💫🙌more of this would be great💫🌟Ryan is so natural🌻✌️🌟
I totally enjoyed this interview. Lots of nuggets from Ryan.
I have new found respect for Ryan. This was a great professional interview from start to finish, well done.
I enjoyed every second of this video 😍 I loved the part that Ryan said about age, funny thing is that I was only 26 and my friend told me that your time is ticking and your golden age is gone now! When your 30 no one wants to listen to you and you have to get married and raise kids instead!
So, Thank you for making videos like this 💖
🤟🏼🤟🏼🎤🎤💖
Thank you so much Delara- I just hit 26 myself so his advice and thoughts on this is a great driver to understand that you should never stop if it’s something you 100% want to do 🎊
Thank you so much Delara- I just hit 26 myself so his advice and thoughts on this is a great driver to understand that you should never stop if it’s something you 100% want to do 🎊
They use that as an excuse to get rid of competition
Thanks for the love and support. Have you ever been to my concert?
Really good job Daniel! You let the guest talk - and the set is relaxing. Ryan is a super cool dude. Kudos~
This is amazing!! That Stevie tribute is one of favorites, I’m speechless.
I enjoyed every minute of this interview. Very great 👍🏻
31:00 Watching Ryan Tedder doing a Chris Martin impression is one of the happiest moments in my entire life 🤣🤣🤣
One of the best moments so far on Behind The Wall for sure!! :)
I like the fact that Ryan keeps re-inventing the way OneRepublic sounds. You really can expect new music from every new album they’re gonna release, it’s never the same. Plus, his voice has an amazing range (5 octaves), it’s incredible how he’s capable to hit the keys even when performing live, jumping and running around almost all the time! And he’s a genuinely nice human being, that’s why I wish him all the best, even if he does stupid things, sometimes… like having a decent haircut, finally again - but spoiling it at the same time by bleaching it 😂
Much ❤ for the upload and even more ❤❤❤ for RT!
Do t think so!!
Restored & powerful!!
Blessed & highly favored!!
Amazing interview and great mission Daniel! Thanks for sharing this. Keep up the great work. Ryan is a songwriting legend. 🤘🏼💪🏼
Appreciate you Steve!!!! Means the world - Ryan is a beast!
Great Interview! Great Idea for series, loving it Daniel!
This is awesome!! Thanks for posting 🙏🏻💫
Thank you very much Sir for making this talk, really motivating so much.. especially when Ryan said that, "effort and work beats out talent 100%.." ❤
Awesome Interview! Best Musical Regards from Germany 🎶✨✌🏻🙂
❤❤❤one of the best videos I’ve seen in awhile keep it up 🙌😎
Such charismatic guys both of you. God bless!
Thank you for making this video man. You asked very good questions that allowed Ryan to express himself comfortably, helping us to see the real him. Great job
hey man, i am beyond proud of you for making this video. they say "you can do whatever you set your mind to" and that is exactly what you did with this video. i stan ryan tedder every day, and its incredible to see a fan interview him the way you did and to hear this wonderful man's story. Keep grinding and don't give up, God loves you. Take care✌✌
Appreciate you matthew!!! Glad Ryan's story continues to connect with so many people and happy this video connected with you :)
@@DanielsWall amen, brother, I thank you 🙏👍😎
Thanks man this video has helped a lot.. I also think about giving up all the time but something won’t let me yet.. much love y’all
This was a legitimately enjoyable interview with great questions. I didn't find out Ryan wrote Bleeding Love and Halo, etc., until I saw his performance at Pinkpop.
Very nice interview, Ryan is so real and down to earth. Anyone know when the US tour begins??
Hi Daniel, i don’t know if you’ll be able to read this message but I just wanna throw a huge shoutout for doing such an incredible job. You are actually paving the way to all aspiring creatives and music-enthusiast that it is possible to meet and sit down with great artists, producers, songwriters and talented performers, then unveil their inspiring stories towards success, hurdles and rising back again. I have learned so much from Ryan and to you as well. Ryan Tedder is one of the most talented human beings in the world whom I really looked up to. Very passionate to his craft and inspirational. Thank you for this interview! Respect! 🎉
Loved everything in this video ! Thank u all

Dude I fucking love your channel. This is the exact type of content I've been searching for. Your production quality, obvious passion, subject matter knowledge, and interview skills all go crazy
This means the world! Thank you LOCK!
All I want to do is to give Ryan a big hug, he is the greatest song writer in the world, and he is so down to earth, if I had any money I would of given him it when he was starting out, and he is great with the fans and the presenter he is talking too is lovely to .The saddest thing is when he was talking about the past, he talks so passionately, I will love one Republic forever. ❤❤❤😂
It’s absolutely insane how much he has done and I had no idea. TikTok brought me here, so hoping you get that 75K!
I absolutely love this interview , this guy is an absolute inspiration to me
Thanks for the love and support. Have you ever been to my concert?

Ryan is perfect😍😍😍Love him so mucb😘😘😘
Thank you so much for this super fun and interesting interview - that´s exactly what I needed at this point... Hope we also get to meet and chat one day ; )
I love this podcast. My biggest inspirations since starting to sing and write songs in 2017 have been Ed Sheeran, Ryan Tedder, and Dave from glass animals. It’s so cool to hear from Ryan about his journey!
Glad you love it! Many more episodes on the way!!
Great interview! I'm now a fan of both you and Ryan
My first time watching this channel. You’ve gained a new subscriber
Ryan the goat!! Great interview y’all. Love your channel.
Thank you Ben!! 🔥 excited to put out more episodes 😊
Such a great interview 👏🏼🙏🏼
I'm so entertained that Ryan sees this as a biz and is so in the loop about the music industry. He is to music what Tarantino is to movies.
Great shirt, interview, and inspiration!
What happened to Song Land? I wish they’d bring back that show… loved it. I clicked because I saw Ryan Tedder name. I’m not much on social media so I’ve never heard of you, Daniel. I do look at UA-cam and your channel popped up. Great interview. New sub here. Keep up the good work! This interview has valuable content… thanks for that👏
This guy is amazing!!
I’m a Ryan Tedder and One Republic fan. Great interview and look behind the music.
Really enjoyed this guys!! Much love from Scotland 🏴
Thanks Daniel for this really insightful episode 🙏
Wow, this guy is self made! Love One Republic, Ryan is so down to earth.
Absolutely incredible interview and an informative in it!❤ Thank you both guys!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉
