Biography

Omnisoul started with singer/songwriter Derek Fuhrmann, who found keyboardist Jamie Orlando, bassist Josh Berger, guitarist Wayne Silver, and drummer Tyler Ingersoll to join him. They named themselves Omnisoul, and Silver left as they were joined by guitarist Shawn Manigly.\n

Fuhrmann and Orlando took music management courses to try to direct their band in the correct direction. During their first real gig, they won a Battle of the Bands at the University of Delaware. In addition, Omnisoul caught the eye of WSTW, Delaware's Top 40 radio station, with their song \"Waiting (Save Your Life)\". The song spent 29 consecutive nights as the #1 most-requested song. To this day, the band still holds the station record. This led to the song's inclusion on the TV show Joan of Arcadia (CBS) and on the Fantastic Four Soundtrack, as well as placement in the movie.\n

The band's song \"Not Giving Up\" was featured in EA Sports' Madden NFL 07 video game. The song originally gained recognition while being played in sports stadiums around the country.\n

The band worked with producer Gregg Wattenberg (Five for Fighting) and engineer Greg Gordon (Jet, Oasis) for their album Consequence, which was released in October 2007.\n

On July 16, 2007, they released a bulletin on MySpace stating that they are changing their band name to The Crash Motive.\n

In November 2008, they announced that the band would come to an end due to the departure of frontman Fuhrmann. Their last gig took place on December 27, 2008, in Deer Park Tavern in their hometown Newark, Delaware.\n

On June 27, 2025, Fuhrmann died from cancer at the age of 44.\n
