Brent Kutzle Facts

He began playing piano at an early age due to both of his parents being in a profession that has to do with a piano – his mom was a piano teacher and his dad was one of 84 pianists at the opening ceremonies for the Los Angeles 1984 Summer Olympics.

Apart from the piano, Kutzle is a classically trainer composer as his father suggested he should take to learning a 2nd instrument. The reason was simple – cellists have a lesser amount of competition in that field.

He played cello for the title track on the Songs Like Rain (2006), an independent short film.

Brent scored a soundtrack for the Latin American drama film Behind the Water (2016), that was based on a true story.

He joined OneRepublic band in 2007 but wasn’t a founding member. The former bassist left to pursue a solo career, and Kutzle played cello instead of bass but transformed the sound through looping, reverb, and delay effects.

His cello hook on the All Fall Down song from Dreaming Out Loud (2007) album was what brought him initial recognition and praise for his cello skills.

He wrote and produced many songs for the band, along with Ryan Tedder, the frontman, and Zach Filkins, OneRepublic’s guitarist.

Brent was commonly seen singing back vocals at live concerts in addition to playing the bass guitar and cello.

He has been a part of a band named Monarch since 2010. The band was formed in 2003 but dissolved later on. He joined along with new members, and together, they released a single named Stay on March 28, 2015, on SoundCloud platform. A little later, in April 2015, they announced a new single named Snow White will be released, along with a music video to accompany it.

Brent co-produced or co-wrote a lot of singles from their highest charting number to date – Native (2013). Best known ones are If I Lose Myself, and Feel Again, but also All the Right Moves, Good Life, and others.

The whole band spent a whole month in Brent’s garage when they were working on the Native, sometimes between 2012 and 2013.

He has a sister who also started piano lessons very early, at around age 4 or 5. She was also playing violin when she was about 10 years old.

He had at least 2 of his cellos stolen – one was worth over $10,000 and was stolen from his family garage. The 2nd one was taken at one of the bands’ live concerts.

Brent is not a very outgoing guy and prefers spending time with family, and his wife, Jackie, in particular. His grandparents had a camper and instilled that habit in him, so he loves traveling in an RV with her when the band is on tour.
