The catalog of nearly 500 songs written, recorded or produced by Tedder encompasses all OneRepublic songs -- including hits "Apologize," "Secrets" and "Counting Stars" -- as well as Tedder's work with artists like Beyoncé, U2, Paul McCartney, Adele, Stevie Wonder, Ed Sheeran, Lady Gaga, Cardi B and Jonas Brothers.
Going forward, KKR will collaborate with Tedder to "expand upon the success and reach" of his and OneRepublic's music, according to a press release.
Formerly known as Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co., KKR has a long history of music industry investments.
