Twenty One Pilots

Twenty One Pilots is an American musical duo from Columbus, Ohio, consisting of lead vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Tyler Joseph and drummer Josh Dun. Originally formed as a trio, the group solidified its identity as a duo and distinguished itself with a genre-blending sound that fuses alternative rock, hip-hop, and electropop. The duo's approach and emotionally resonant lyrics have earned a dedicated global following and critical recognition in the music industry.

The group achieved mainstream success with the album "Blurryface," which produced the chart-topping singles "Stressed Out" and "Ride." Every track on both "Blurryface" and its predecessor "Vessel" received at least a gold certification, making Twenty One Pilots the first band to achieve this milestone on two separate albums. The single "Heathens" further established their status, making them the first alternative act to have two concurrent top-five singles on the Billboard Hot 100, a distinction previously accomplished only by the Beatles and Elvis Presley. The group has been honored with a Grammy Award for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance and has accumulated more than 40 awards from over 100 nominations.

Twenty One Pilots has continued to evolve artistically, releasing albums including "Trench," "Scaled and Icy," and "Clancy." Their dynamic live performances and ability to connect with audiences through introspective storytelling have made them sought-after public speakers and performers, consistently headlining major festivals and events. The duo's journey, marked by perseverance through lineup changes and industry challenges, underscores their resilience and influence in contemporary music.
