History
John Janick conceived of the label while attending high school, but it was not until he enrolled at the University of Florida in Gainesville and teamed up with Less Than Jake drummer-lyricist Vinnie Fiorello that Fueled By Ramen became a reality.[1][2][3] The name of the label was inspired by only being able to afford a diet of inexpensive instant ramen at the time, due to having invested most of their money into making records.
Ramen's first major success came in 1998 with the self-titled EP from Jimmy Eat World, which enabled the label to buy its first office space in Tampa.[4]
Ramen early on partnered with the independent distribution arm of Warner, Alternative Distribution Alliance; Warner's Lyor Cohen finally making a deal for Ramen that led Janick to say "We operate like an indie label that’s very small and nimble and can do their own thing, but we have the resources of a major company."[5]
In 2006, Vinnie Fiorello left the label, citing disagreements in the direction of future signees and loss of passion in the music the label was investing itself in.[6]
In June 2018, Warner Music Group announced that Fueled By Ramen, among other labels, would be included in a new label, Elektra Music Group.[7] It officially launched on October 1, 2018.[8]
