Fueled By Ramen is an independent record label based in New York City with an additional office in Tampa, Florida. Started in 1996, the label has grown tremendously from its beginnings in Gainesville, Florida to become one of the world's premier names for music.

History

Janick initially conceptualized the label while attending high school, but it wasn’t until he enrolled at University of Florida in Gainesville and teamed up with Less Than Jake drummer/lyricist Vinnie Fiorello that Fueled By Ramen became a reality.^[1] In 1998, Fueled By Ramen released a self-titled EP from Jimmy Eat World, a five-song collection that proved a breakthrough for both the label and the Arizona-based band. With increased distribution demands and a rise in radio play, Fueled By Ramen set up its first real office space that same year.^{[citation needed]}

In 2004, Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz introduced Fueled By Ramen to fellow suburban Chicago rock outfit The Academy Is... who released their acclaimed debut album Almost Here, the following year. Soon thereafter, Janick joined forces with Wentz to create Decaydance Records and released a series of albums from a disparate-sounding group of acts ranging from the alternative hip-hop of Gym Class Heroes to the indie-pop combo The Hush Sound. In September 2005, Decaydance and Fueled By Ramen released A Fever You Can't Sweat Out, the RIAA platinum-certified debut album from Las Vegas’ Panic At The Disco.^{[citation needed]}

In late 2006, Vinnie Fiorello announced that he was leaving Fueled By Ramen, citing a clash between business interests and musical creativity as the primary reason. On the subject of the departure, he said the following:

[Faced] with staying around and it just being "business as usual" or trying to steer an iceberg in the way I wanted the direction of the label to go, I decided that it was time for me to step aside and let the label grow with its natural progression.^[2]

In 2007 the label opened an office in midtown Manhattan and that same year Paramore’s album Riot! debuted in the Billboard Top 20, was certified gold and has recently gained platinum status.
