![]() ![]() Before departing the project, Salih invited Guitar Center co-worker and friend of the group Josh Dun (former touring drummer for House of Heroes), to take his place in the band. Salih left on to focus on work, and Thomas left the next month on Jto focus on schooling, both posting farewell notes on the band's official Facebook page. They contributed to four of fourteen tracks of their album album Clear, with Travis Whittaker and the gospel band "New Albany Music." In 2011, Joseph appeared in a 3-part video called "The (moderately inspiring tale of the) Longboard Rodeo Tango"., and sang "O come, O come, Emmanuel" in another video, Christmas With the Stars. Joseph, Dun, and Salih participated in musical efforts of a Columbus, Ohio church called Five14. The latter track would become the first song local drummer Josh Dun heard from the group. In 2010, the band posted two tracks to their SoundCloud account, a cover of "Jar of Hearts" by Christina Perri and a remixed interpretation of "Con te partirò (Time to Say Goodbye)" by Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman. During this time, the band participated in "Battle of the Band" contests at The Alrosa Villa and The Basement, important Columbus music venues. Their initial marketing was grassroots Joseph's mother would stand outside of Ohio State University giving away tickets to his shows. Now going by "Twenty One Pilots", the group released their debut, self-titled album, Twenty One Pilots, on December 29, 2009, and began touring the rest of Ohio. To catch the attention of unfamiliar or disinterested attendees and promoters, the band began to experiment with costumes and on-stage acrobatics. Playing at metal, hardcore, and electronic venues influenced Joseph to incorporate these disparate styles with his songwriting. The band initially played for a wide variety of audiences at clubs and venues around the Columbus area. In 2009, the group moved into a house of their own, where their first album was conceptualized and recorded in the basement. Just before their first performance, Joseph invited Thomas to join the unnamed band as a bassist. Impressed by the recording studio Salih had built in his house, Joseph agreed to play music together and began sharing his ideas for new music. Noting the songwriter's talent and creative energy, Salih consulted Joseph about starting a band. While attending Ohio State University, Joseph met Texas-born future bandmate Christopher "Chris" Salih at a party. Thomas contributed guitar to several songs on the album, and collaborated on the track "Trees", which would later become a signature Twenty One Pilots song. In 2007, Joseph recorded a solo album titled No Phun Intended in his parent's basement. Joseph began playing music after finding an old keyboard in his closet, a Christmas gift from his mother, and started mimicking radio melodies. Thomas later transferred to Joseph's middle school, and the two would remain friends through high school. Tyler Joseph first met future bandmate Nicholas "Nick" Thomas at a young age while playing little league basketball in Columbus, Ohio. ![]() They have won a Grammy Award for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.
