To date, Five For Fighting has released six studio albums, including the platinum-certified America Town and The Battle for Everything, as well as the Top-10 album Two Lights. Ondrasik has written a series of enduring hits including “100 Years,” “The Riddle,” “Chances,” “World,” and “Easy Tonight.” His music has earned more than one billion streams, and he ranks among the Top 10 Hot Adult Contemporary artists of the 2000s.

Songs like “100 Years” and “Superman (It’s Not Easy)” have become modern standards, frequently heard at weddings, graduations, memorials, and milestone celebrations. Five For Fighting’s music has also appeared in more than 350 films, television shows, and commercials, including The Blind Side, The Sopranos, Hawaii Five-O, and the CBS drama Code Black.

One of the defining moments of Ondrasik’s career came in 2001 when he performed “Superman (It’s Not Easy)” at The Concert for New York City at Madison Square Garden, a benefit honoring first responders and victims of the September 11 attacks. Sharing the stage with artists such as Paul McCartney, Elton John, Billy Joel, and The Who, the performance cemented the song’s emotional connection with audiences around the world.

Known for his soaring falsetto and expressive piano playing—skills nurtured by his mother, a piano teacher—Ondrasik has sold over three million albums and continues to tour internationally. His performances range from intimate solo shows to full band concerts and orchestral collaborations featuring string quartets that reimagine his songs in sweeping arrangements.

Beyond the stage, Ondrasik is a frequent keynote speaker, presenting at organizations including TEDx, the Salk Institute, and the American Cancer Society. Blending music with insights on creativity and innovation, he draws from an unusually diverse background that includes a degree in mathematics from UCLA and helping manage his family’s manufacturing business, Precision Wire Products.

Ondrasik has also used his music to address humanitarian and global issues. Recent songs such as “Blood on My Hands,” “Can One Man Save the World?” and “OK (We Are Not OK)” explore themes of freedom, moral responsibility, and global conflict. His work supporting humanitarian causes has included performances in Ukraine, advocacy for Afghan allies, and partnerships with organizations providing aid and refugee support.

Throughout his career, Ondrasik has been deeply committed to charitable work. He created the “CD for the Troops” initiative—distributing more than one million CDs to military families—and continues to support organizations such as Augie’s Quest for ALS, the Gary Sinise Foundation, and humanitarian relief efforts around the world.

A lifelong sports fan, Ondrasik has also written for Sports Illustrated and performed at major sporting events including the Daytona 500, Monday Night Football, and NHL outdoor games.

Today, he continues to write, record, and tour while balancing family life and philanthropic work. Through Five For Fighting, Ondrasik remains committed to what he has always done best: telling human stories through melody, honesty, and heart.
