John Tesh

Tesh has long been an advocate for the power and encouragement found in worship music. And so it's no surprise that one of Tesh's regular gigs is music director in his Sherman Oaks, CA, church.

Despite his various professional hats, Tesh considers being a father and husband his "greatest accomplishment." "When you have a teenager in your house, you suddenly realize that you need to pick a vocation that the kid can actually share with the rest of her class," says Tesh.

As a television host, recording artist, music director and syndicated radio show host - John Tesh has explored and succeeded in all of these facets of the entertainment industry. With three gold albums and a career that includes six Emmys, two Grammy nominations, an Associated Press Award for investigative journalism, a Keyboard Magazine Award, several number one radio hits, five hit PBS specials and two tours as an Olympic announcer/composer, it's obvious that Tesh has a drive for versatility.

2010 shows no signs of Tesh slowing down. With more stations picking up his radio show almost weekly, the Renaissance man continues to tour more than 75 cities each year and releases music and video projects. In addition, his hardcover book, Intelligence for Your Life: Powerful Lessons for Personal Growth (Thomas Nelson, Inc.) has spent time on the New York Times, USA Today, Publisher's Weekly, Amazon.com and Wall Street Journal best-seller lists. John's Greatest Hits Live Volume One CD / DVD combo was released earlier this year as well.

Tesh lives in Los Angeles with his wife, actress Connie Sellecca, and his daughter Prima. His son, Gib, is also a key member of the TeshMedia Group team and is featured in Tesh's live concerts.
