USA Patriotism! proudly recognizes . . . patriot singer
/ songwriter,
John Ondrasik, for his
ongoing support of our troops through his performances and
other patriotic efforts.
John Ondrasik has spent the past decade
writing deeply personal songs that include social messages,
invoke the human spirit and also make an emotional
connection. This can be heard on the past three albums by
Five For Fighting, the band name under which he records and
performs.
Ondrasik first came on the scene in
2001 with his Grammy-nominated song "Superman (It's Not
Easy),” from the Platinum certified America Town
(Aware/Columbia) CD. Already climbing the charts prior to
9/11, "Superman" went on to have a life of his own, becoming
a song of healing for the nation.
John joined superstar musicians for the
now legendary post 9/11 fundraiser The Concert For New York.
In 2004, John recorded the Platinum-certified album, The
Battle For Everything, which yielded the massive hit, “100
Years,” a song that has become a part of classic American
songbook.
With the most recent album, Two Lights,
featuring “World” and “The Riddle,” John
continues to craft songs with much of the material drawn
from his personal experiences in regards to love, war,
culture, family, humanity and mortality. The single “World”
is a call-to-action song that proposes the question “What
kind of world do you want"?
In addition to his musical accomplishments, John has a made
a personal commitment towards causes that are important to
him. In mid 2007, Ondrasik launched a unique charity-driven
web site,
whatkindofworlddoyouwant.com that raises money for
various charities when users view video clips provided by
visitors to the site. |
