Hey, I’m Ryan Tedder. I’ve written songs for Beyonce, Adele, Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Paul McCartney, Ariana Grande, Shawn Mendes, Stevie Wonder, Lil Nas X, and many others, including my own band OneRepublic. In my Studio, I’m sharing my real, behind-the-scenes, hit-making process: Watch me write and produce brand new songs from start-to-finish on camera, as I show and explain everything I’m doing and thinking in detail. If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to write a hit song, I’m showing every step here. My Studio is designed to help you learn exactly how I do what I do by seeing it firsthand.

 In this series, you’ll learn exactly how I approach collaboration and co-writing sessions, from the initial conversations all the way through exporting the final track, and everything in between.
