Fueled By Ramen began life as a side-project in 1996 for two individuals at the University of Florida: John Janick (now Chairman and CEO of Interscope Geffen A&M) and Vinnie Fiorello, a member of the band Less Than Jake.<\/p>\n
The label’s name was a nod to Janick and Fiorello’s diet at the time, and the fact that they couldn’t afford more expensive food due to the amount of spare money they were investing into the company.<\/p>\n
FBR has success with Jimmy Eat World’s first album, before inking a distribution deal with Warner’s ADA.<\/p>\n
In 2005, in tandem with the label Decaydance, Fueled By Ramen scored its biggest hit: A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out<\/em>, the debut album from Panic! at the Disco, which went double-platinum in the US.<\/p>\n After Vinnie Fiorello left FBR in 2006, Janick and his company went on to enjoy yet more success with the likes of Paramore, Fall Out Boy, and fun..<\/p>\n Janick left Warner Music Group in 2012 to become head of Universal’s IGA, shortly after Twenty One Pilots signed to the label.<\/p>\n
