John Tesh was born on July 9, 1952, and grew up in Garden City, New York with two sisters, and with his mom and dad. John always loved music. In fact, he started playing the piano and the trumpet when he was only 6-years-old! A little later, when he was a teenager, he studied music with teachers from The Juilliard School, and he played with the New York State Symphonic Orchestra. At the same time, he also played the organ in a rock band.
After he graduated from college, John got a job as a news reporter at a television station in Durham, North Carolina. Later, he worked for a television station in Nashville, Tennessee during the same time that Oprah Winfrey was working for another station just across town! In the 1990s, he hosted a network show called Entertainment Tonight. But John still loved his music. He worked hard, and also became a recording artist, selling millions of CDs.
Today, John Tesh plays and sings Contemporary Christian music, and he also does something very special to help millions of people everyday. He has his own radio show on hundreds of radio stations across America and in other countries, too. On his show, he plays music, but more importantly, he talks about lots and lots of ways people can have better lives. He calls the information he gives out, “Intelligence for your life,” and it really does help a lot of people. If you listen to his radio show, it might help you, too! Yes, that little boy named Johnny, who learned to play the piano and the trumpet when he was only 6-years-old always loved figuring out special ways to help other people. He grew up to be…a HERO!
