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, three hit PBS specials and two tours as an Olympic announcer/composer, it’s obvious that John Tesh has a passion for his work.

In a remarkably successful career that now spans more than 25 years, Tesh is known worldwide as a leading and respected figure in the entertainment and broadcasting industries. Tesh is also the host of a nationally syndicated radio show with a weekly listening audience of eight million people.

Born July 9, 1952 in Long Island, New York, Tesh began playing piano at the age of six; as a teen, he also played organ and trombone with local rock bands. After graduating North Carolina State University with a degree in music and communications, Tesh worked at a progression of television stations throughout the southeastern U.S., later graduating to the position of anchor at the CBS network's New York City affiliate. In 1981, he joined CBS Sports as a commentator, where he later won Emmy Awards for his Pan American Games theme and the theme to the Tour de France.

Music has always been John Tesh’s main passion. In 1996, after 10 years as co-host of Entertainment Tonight, he surprised many by leaving the highly visible (and highly lucrative) position to pursue his career as a fulltime musician. 

Power of Love was nominated for a 2003 Grammy award for Best Pop Instrumental Album.
