[edit] Biography
Omnisoul started with singer/songwriter Derek Fuhrmann, who found keyboardist Jamie Orlando, bassist Josh Berger, and drummer Tyler Ingersoll to join him. They named themselves Omnisoul, and were soon joined by guitarist Shawn Manigly.
Fuhrmann and Orlando took music management courses to try to direct their band in the correct direction. During their first real gig, they won a Battle of the Bands. In addition, Omnisoul caught the eye of WSTW, Delaware's Top 40 radio station, with their song "Waiting (Save Your Life)". The song spent 29 consecutive nights as the #1 most-requested song. To this day, the band still holds the station record. This led to the song's inclusion on the TV show Joan of Arcadia (CBS) and on the Fantastic 4 Soundtrack, as well as placement in the movie.
The band's song "Not Giving Up" was featured in EA Sports' Madden 2007 video game. The song originally gained recognition while being played in sports stadiums around the country.
The band worked with producer Gregg Wattenberg (Five For Fighting) and engineer Greg Gordon (Jet, Oasis) for their album Things That Could Be Said, which will be released in 2007. [1]
