About
JOHN ONDRASIK
Lead singer, Five for Fighting, & Activist John Ondrasik, the songwriter and performer is known as the platinum-selling, Grammy nominated, Five For Fighting. Recently, Ondrasik released the song, “OK,” along with a heart wrenching documentary music video that speaks to the Hamas attacks on Israel of Oct 7th, 2023, and the cultural aftermath both in the United States and around the world. The “OK” (We Are Not OK) video has impacted globally with millions of streams. On April 13th, 2024 Ondrasik performed “OK” and “Superman” at “Hostage Square” in Tel Aviv for hostage families, and the nation of Israel, hours before Iran launched its missile attack. A Wall Street Journal feature headlined “A Lone Voice Sings for Israel” recognized Ondrasik as one of the few artists in the music industry to condemn Hamas and publicly call for the release of the hostages. Say’s John, who is not Jewish, “Something’s deeply wrong in the culture when people can’t come out and say that what happened on Oct. 7 was evil. No context. No buts. How did we get to a place where our music stars can’t condemn pure atrocities?”
