Five for Fighting's John Ondrasik on staying grounded, being a 15-year overnight success, and his latest tour.

John Ondrasik is the songwriter and performer known as the platinum-selling, Grammy-nominated, Five For Fighting. In the two decades since his first major single, “Superman (It’s Not Easy),” went viral, he's both evolved and come back around full circle.

He's written major hits, including the chart-topping “100 Years,” “The Riddle,” “Chances,” “World,” and “Easy Tonight,” which have earned over one billion streams and place him as a top-10 Hot Adult Contemporary artist for the 2000s.

Five For Fighting’s music has also been featured in more than 350 films, television shows, and commercials, including the Oscar-winning The Blind Side, Hawaii Five-O, The Sopranos and the CBS drama, Code Black. 

I truly enjoyed getting to know John, and I was struck by his good, down to earth nature. Plus, you can find him on Linkedin which I LOVE.

Thanks for taking the time, John!
