OneRepublic frontman Ryan Tedder has signed a groundbreaking global publishing deal with Runner Music, the company he co-founded. This rare move marks one of the few instances where a songwriter of his caliber has signed with their own publishing company.

Tedder's recent achievements include multiple hits with Tate McRae ("Greedy," "Exes," "It's Ok, I'm Ok," and "Sports Car"), the Grammy-winning "II Most Wanted" with Beyoncé and Miley Cyrus, and collaborations with David Guetta, including "I Don't Wanna Wait" and "Run It" featuring Jelly Roll.

Runner Music has established itself as a major force in the industry, with recent successes including:

• Bad Bunny's "DtMF" (co-written by Tyler Spry) reaching No. 2 on Billboard Hot 100
• Grant Boutin's collaboration on Tate McRae's "Sports Car" and seven other tracks
• Recent signings of Del Water Gap, Ben Johnson, and Alex O'Shaughnessy

"Signing to Runner feels like the culmination of a dream I've had for years," said Tedder. "With Amanda Hill, Andrew Sparkler, and the team they've assembled by my side, I've got a community of music-obsessed operators that share the same vision, passion, and relentless drive."

Amanda Hill, Co-Chief Creative Officer of Runner, expressed pride in the company's achievements, while CEO Andrew Sparkler highlighted the exceptional momentum at Runner and their commitment to nurturing both emerging and established songwriters.
