Bio

Entertainer
For over 50 years, the Osmond name has been synonymous with world class entertainment. Alan Osmond, the oldest founding member of the Osmond Brothers Quartet, initially led the charge as elder statesman and spokesman for the talented siblings. Remarkably, he was eight years old at the family's first performance! With each local performance, the Osmonds contributed to a groundswell of love and support that would soon spread around the globe. With the addition of Donny, brother, and Marie, sister, the Osmonds became an unmatched, worldwide sensation.

The Osmonds have been honored with over 33 gold and platinum records. A gifted writer, Alan is credited with co-penning many of their most recognizable hits. With a unique combination of charm, talent and charisma, the family has perfected a wholesome entertainment style that is all their own. From Japan to England to Los Angeles - the Osmonds are the first family of entertainment.

Producer
The late 70's began a new chapter in Alan Osmond's life as the convergence of television and live entertainment revolutionized American living rooms. As executive producer of the ratings hit "Donny and Marie Show", Alan was involved in all capacities of production. The skills learned during this exciting time were strengthened in the 80's as Alan Osmond Productions was tasked to oversee the Reagan inauguration festivities as well as President Bush's (41.)

With Alan serving as President, Alan Osmond Productions has created a new standard for larger-than-life events. Partnering with The Osmond Foundation, he was privileged to assist in the creation of what is now known as The Children's Miracle Network as well as the annual "Stadium of Fire".

"MS does not have me!"
It was during the wonderful successes of The Osmonds and Alan Osmond Productions that Alan realized his mastery of musical instruments was reduced. After testing and evaluation, he received a difficult diagnosis - Multiple Sclerosis. True to the spirit that marks his personality, he soon coined a phrase that has brought hope to many: "I may have M.S., but M.S. does NOT have me!"

Alan continues the fight for M.S. research and understanding. Although he is no longer able to regularly perform with his brothers, he actively travels the globe delivering a message of hope and encouragement. Because of his work and determination, he was honored as the 2000 recipient of the Dorothy Corwin Spirit of Life Award from the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.

Family
The Osmonds have made wholesome family entertainment a hallmark of their success. Alan, along with wife Suzanne, are co-authors of a series of children's books re-imagining classic fairy tale families. Two of their charities, One Heart and The Family Home Foundation, have the primary focus of strengthening America's families.

Alan and Suzanne are proud parents to eight (8) children. In typical Osmond tradition, they are an award-winning group known as Osmonds 2nd Generation. Alan has been involved in the writing, production and live shows. Most importantly, he is a proud father.
