John Tesh was born in 1952 in New York. He started playing piano and trumpet at the age of 6. He was named to the New York State Symphony Orchestra while he was still at highschool and at the same time he was playing organ in a rock band. He went on to graduate from college and then he moved to Orlando, Florida to work at WFTV.
His early years were spent as a new reporter and he worked at a number of different stations across the country. He was eventually called on to host Entertainment Tonight. But in 1987 he decided to get back into music. His good friend Yanni was just about to start a tour and John asked if he could join them on tour as a keyboardist. He managed to juggle performing, hosting the tonight show and the long hours of rehearsal for 12 shows.
Yanni helped John get his own recording contract with Private Music and in 1988 John released his first album Tour de France. After his first record John started to put out albums like crazy even though he switched record companies a few times. It went so well that in 1996 he quit his position with Entertainment Tonight in order for focus on his music.
Today he has won four Emmy Awards and put out dozens of albums.
