OneRepublic chat to I Like Music


ILM: What did you learn from Timbaland about making music?

RYAN: Oh yeah, plenty. Musically my instincts have been sharpened. When I sit down to do a song for somebody else now, where I go musically has definitely been influenced by Timbaland. I'm not going to go to the obvious place anymore. I'm going to go to the most musical place possible. Whether it's with an instrument or with my mouth, it's like Tim has helped me to develop my instincts to a higher level as a producer and a writer. I'm a lot more innovative since having been with him. I've always been strong melodically, but when it comes to making the music, the actual track, the beat and the rhythm and all that, I'm a lot more innovative having been exposed to Timbaland

ILM: It's like you've had your antennae for what works polished?

RYAN: Exactly, you got it.

ILM: You write emotion-driven lyrics and songs. Please can you describe the OneRepublic music making process? Does it tend to be lyrics or melodies first?
