Kevoian attended California State University, Long Beach and graduated in 1973 with a degree in Eastern Philosophy and Literature. The following year he started his internship at a small LA radio station. He also worked for the children show choir group called The Young Americans as a sound engineer and spent three years touring the country with the group. In 1979 he started to work at WMBN, a radio station in Petoskey, Michigan, and three years after he transferred to WJML in the Michigan town of Kingsley. He also took an additional job as a bartender in a Harbor Springs bar. Here he met Tom Griswold, who was looking for a new station after his year spent working in Florida. Griswold was soon hired as the program director at Kevoian’s station, and eventually the two teamed up and started their morning show “The Bob and Tom Show”. The program became extremely successful which led the hosts to appear at the Superstars Convention along with 300 station representatives. Once their compilation of bits was heard, they started to receive various offers from all around the country.

In 1983 Kevoian, along with his partner Griswold, moved to Indiana and established their comedy-based show at radio station WFBQ “Q95” based in Indianapolis. The show eventually got additional hosts Chick McGee, Kristi Lee and Dean Metcalf, and the popularity of their show grew increasingly, becoming a nationally syndicated program in 1995, transmitted by over 150 stations across the country. “The Bob and Tom Show” became one of the highest-rated radio programs in the country, heard by over five million listeners, and enabled Kevoian to earn a significant net worth. The show is a mixture of comedy, parody, talk, news and sports; it frequently interviews various guests such as touring comedians, athletes, musicians, actors and sometimes politicians.

“The Bob and Tom Show” has produced over 50 compilation CDs and DVDs. Kevoian wrote a number of lyrics and music for the show’s parodies. The show was eventually re-purposed as an overnight show called “Bob and Tom All Nighter”; from 2008 to 2010 “The Bob and Tom Show” was even aired as a television program on WGN America channel.

Over the years, the two show’s stars also made tours around the USA, called The Bob and Tom Radio Comedy Tours.

Kevoian has received various honors and won a number of awards, including five Marconi Awards.

In 2015 Kevoian was inducted to the National Radio Hall of Fame at the Museum of Broadcast Communications in Chicago. At the occasion, he gave a speech announcing his retirement at the end of the year. He stated that once retired, he wanted to focus on traveling with his wife. Kevoian hosted his last show in mid-December.

Speaking about Kevoian’s private life, he married Becky Martin in 2005. The couple has one son, and Kevoian has two stepsons from Becky’s previous marriage.

Through his show, Kevoian has been involved in philanthropy, raising money for various charities, which often were the subject of his show. He and Griswold once wagered with former Indianapolis Colts player Jeff Saturday that they would donate $10,000 to a charity of Saturday’s choice, if the player ever made a touchdown. When Saturday scored, the radio partners donated $5,000 each to People’s Burn Foundation of Indiana and Kid’s Voice of Indiana, Inc.

John Digweed Net Worth $48 million

John became interested in DJing while still being a teenager at the age of 15, when he began making a name in the music industry, organizing successful rave club nights on Hastings Pier in his home town. In 1993 he befriended colleague DJ Alexander Coe, known as Sasha, and the two began working together, circuiting clubs and heavily promoting the progressive house sound. In 1994, the duo released their first album entitled “Renaissance: The Mix Collection”, the first ever commercial nightclub compilation intentionally released for the market. All these involvements provided the basis for John Digweed’s net worth, and also helped him to establish himself in the world of DJing.

Sasha and John continued to release their mixtapes, through Northern Exposure series as well as Ministry of Sound series in the late 1990s. Subsequently, alongside Nick Mur, John Digweed began to release mixtapes under the alias Bedrock, including the hit remix “For What You Dream Of” which was featured in Danny Boyle’s now cult movie, “Trainspotting” (1996). In 1999, Digweed founded Bedrock Records, a record label through which he continued to release the progressive house compilations and his mixtapes. Certainly, all these ventures helped John Digweed to massively increase the total of his net worth.

Between 2000 and 2011, John regularly hosted a weekly, two-hour radio program on Kiss 100 radio station. In 2006, he launched a new series of mixtapes named Transitions while in 2008, Digweed and Sasha went on a Spring Club Tour across the US. In 2011, Digweed released a new series of CD mixtapes entitled Structures, while in 2012 his live album set hit the charts. By the end of 2016, John Digweed was ranked as No. 43 on the Top 100 DJs chart. Doubtlessly, all these accomplishments have helped John Digweed to earn an impressive amount of wealth.

When it comes to his personal life, John Digweed has managed to keep it quite private, as there aren’t any relevant details about his personal affairs when asked about marriage, he has said ‘Not yet!” Currently, he resides in London, UK, but also splits his time between New York City, Tokyo, Montreal and Sydney where he occasionally performs.
