Twenty One Pilots

Twenty One Pilots is an American musical duo from Columbus, Ohio, consisting of frontman Tyler Joseph and drummer Josh Dun. The band is known for its difficult-to-categorize mix of musical styles, lyrics concerning personal insecurities, and energetic live shows featuring costumes and on-stage acrobatics. They are also known for their fanbase and an alternate universe storyline told through several concept albums.

The band was formed in 2009 by Joseph, bassist Nick Thomas, and drummer Chris Salih. After independently releasing their first album, Twenty One Pilots (2009), Salih was replaced by Dun in May 2011 and Thomas left the following month, with the group continuing as a duo. Following their second independent album, Regional at Best (2011), the duo was signed by record label Fueled by Ramen in 2012.
