About John Tesh

The six-time Emmy winning radio and television host and Grammy nominated musician offers up his ‘on-the-air’ brand of life-coaching through three upcoming new projects, which include a PBS special, ALIVE music&dance, with corresponding new DVD & CD projects and his second book, Intelligence for Your Life: Powerful Lessons for Personal Growth.

Tesh’s passion and interest in hip-hop all started when he popped his head into his daughter’s hip-hop dance class and “Snoop Teshy-Tesh” was born.  His daughter’s passion for the art form became his new muse and being the family man he is he embraced her passion which in turn, excited his own and ALIVE music&dance was created.  It is John Tesh like you have never seen him before in a way that fits his passions and style like nothing he has ever done.

The TV special, DVD and CD showcase 14 new performances by Tesh and highlight the talents of dancer Breeze Lee, co-artistic director and choreographer on an LA-based dance theater company, and ballerina Julia Eichten, a 2007 freshman at The Juilliard School. The huge production features a cast of nearly one hundred performers - including a choir of worship leaders, singers, band, strings and dancers between the ages of 13 and 21.

In his new book, Intelligence for Your Life (Thomas Nelson, Inc.), Tesh uplifts and inspires readers to find the deepest desires of their hearts, create a plan for pursuing their dreams, overcome crippling fears and inspire those around them.

But Intelligence for Your Life is more than a guide to informed living; it is also a memoir. Tesh shares his own story here, revealing the passions that have driven him and given shape to his extraordinary professional and personal life, and how he’s implemented the tools that he talks about on The John Tesh Radio Show every day.

“I like to call it ‘purpose-driven radio’,’” says Tesh of his award-winning daily and weekly show that is heard on over 260 stations nationwide by more than 8 million people. Listeners tune into the syndicated show each week to hear him warmly impart in-depth "intelligence for your life" - tips on how to earn your boss's trust, fight jet lag, get out of debt, find your life's calling or even discover the power of prayer.

"Planting seeds and encouraging people with the program and my music is a method with which I am truly comfortable,” says Tesh. “‘Music and Intelligence For Your Life’ is a safe haven for family listening. Children, men and women of all ages can gain something from the show."

With his staff of 10 full-time researchers, Tesh has uncovered a wealth of practical information and life-changing choices throughout the years. He now combines that knowledge with some incredible personal experiences for this first book in what promises to be a successful ongoing series.
