7. Ryan Tedder
You probably know Ryan Tedder as the lead singer of One Republic, but he got his start as a songwriter for a wide range of other artists. While he was working with Timbaland to develop as an artist, he was also writing and producing music on the side. He’s a prolific songwriter, having written songs for Kelly Clarkson, Jennifer Lopez, Beyonce, Adele, and many more.
One Republic’s debut single “Apologize” was written by Tedder, and it went on to be the number one most played song until it was de-throned by Leona Lewis‘ “Bleeding Love” which was also co-written by Tedder. He has a record company and his own music publishing company and he continues to perform with One Republic while also writing and producing award-winning music for other artists.
