Radio DJ. Stand-up comedian. Best-selling author. Chart-topping recording artist. TV personality. Philanthropist. Bobby Bones has built his career on the ability to multi-task, turning humor, honesty, and hard work into a self-made business empire. He is the host of the award-winning, nationally syndicated iHeartRadio program, The Bobby Bones Show, which broadcasts to 200 stations and is the No.1 morning show in the “Country” category with millions of monthly listeners. 

Bones grew up in Mountain Pine, Arkansas, a pint-sized town supported by a sawmill that employed most of the area’s residents. Bones had a different career in mind, though, landing his first radio job as a college student and, during the years that followed, bouncing between a handful of pop, hip-hop, and sports stations.

From these humble beginnings and that first foray into radio, The Bobby Bones Show emerged. With Country music in is blood, no other DJ was better prepared to tackle the growing genre. Taking some inspiration from pop music and hip-hop, Country music's boundaries had expanded, now reaching a new generation of fans who’d grown up with MTV, Napster, and the internet. Bones understood this. In fact, he was born for it. 

Launching first in Austin, Texas, The Bobby Bones Show quickly became the city’s top-rated morning show. Later, the show moved to Nashville and became a nationally-syndicated radio program in 2012, sending Bones’ career into hyperdrive. 

His impact hasn’t gone unnoticed. He’s since garnered prestigious accolades, including a CMA Award for National Broadcast Personality of the Year, and is a two-time recipient of the National Personality Award from the ACMs. He’s also become the youngest-ever inductee into the National Radio Hall Of Fame, joining radio legends such as Dick Clark, Howard Stern, and more. Bones also founded the Nashville Podcast Network, an eclectic collection of podcasts that provides listeners with an inside look at Nashville’s lifestyle and pop culture, which is home to his popular BobbyCast that currently has over 20 million downloads. 

But Bones isn’t only a personality on radio stations and Podcast apps – he has been regularly hitting the stage as a stand-up comedian – performing for fans across the country. It’s a job he’s enjoyed since his teenage years. It continues to be a welcome challenge, too, putting Bones face-to-face with his audience and eliminating his cast of on-air sidekicks.

On the television side, Bobby currently serves as host for the hit USA Network competition series, Snake in the Grass. He has previously been the host and executive producer for a range of projects, including National Geographic’s breakout television series Breaking Bobby Bones, as well as Opry, a weekly program featuring exclusive highlights from the Grand Ole Opry stage each week. Additionally, he’s been featured on some of the U.S.’s most popular unscripted programs – serving as an in-house mentor on ABC’s American Idol for four seasons and becoming the champion of Dancing with The Stars’ 27th season. 

As an author, Bones is a two-time New York Times No.1 best-seller following the success of Bare Bones and Fail Until You Don’t: Fight. Grind. Repeat. His third book is a children's book entitled Stanley the Dog: The First Day of School.

In addition to his work, Bones continues to give back to communities, having helped raise over $16 million for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital leading charitable efforts for a range of causes, including natural disaster relief, COVID-19, frontline workers, veteran care and support, and more; and partnering with Purina to bring awareness to the benefits of service dogs in helping veterans with PTSD and other post-combat challenges. His passion for giving back is notable. Bones has encouraged a high level of charitable involvement amongst his listeners while also walking the walk himself.

“I’m not doing it so people can pat me on the back,” he says. “I’m doing it because others did it for me. If I hadn’t received a ton of help growing up, like church groups bringing us food, I wouldn’t be here.”

In speeches, Bones shares candidly and insightfully about his background and what he has overcome - from his childhood days in a Mountain Pine trailer park, he shines a light on the struggles he faced while growing up in a broken home. Bones isn’t looking for sympathy; instead, consistently reaches out to others who may find themselves in similar situations, having an addicted parent or challenged by the limited horizons of a small, rural town. 

Bones’ story is the American Dream, and his goal is to encourage others to live their own version of that same dream. He still kicks off every weekday morning as a radio host, but he’s become much more than that, maintaining a multimedia presence that reaches beyond the FM airwaves. He’s on your TV, on the air, on your bookshelf, and onstage. He’s Bobby Bones, and he isn’t going anywhere.
