Bio:
Formed in 2009 in Columbus, Ohio, Twenty One Pilots is a duo of Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun, known for their genre-blending sound and introspective lyrics. Starting as a quartet, they self-released Twenty One Pilots (2009) before signing with Fueled by Ramen. Vessel (2013) broke through with “Car Radio,” while Blurryface (2015) hit number one, earning a Grammy for “Stressed Out.” Albums like Trench (2018), Scaled and Icy (2021), and Clancy (2024) showcase their evolution, with “Overcompensate” and “Backslide” (2025) keeping fans hooked. Their theatrical live shows, Skeleton Clique fandom, and 33 million albums sold reflect their impact, despite mental health struggles and lineup shifts.
