One of Nashville’s most prolific and consistent songwriters, Bob possesses a humble drive to keep learning and stay relevant. He has had over 1,000 songs recorded by other artists, countless hit singles, and an astounding 15 #1 hits. His songs have been featured in TV shows, commercials and movies. In 2011 his song “Coming Home” from the Country Strong movie soundtrack was nominated for both an Oscar and Golden Globe Award for “Best Original Song in a Motion Picture.” Among his other countless awards are 50 BMI Million-Air honors, multiple Songwriter of the Year awards and 2 consecutive Triple Play awards for 3 #1 songs within a 12 month period. Bob is the originator of the CMA Songwriters Series and has served as its Host for 10 years, bringing Nashville’s finest songwriters and artists throughout the United States and overseas to Belfast, Dublin, London and Paris. In 2007, he was inducted into the Nashville Songwriter’s Hall of Fame and Nashville’s Walk of Fame where his star is located between Jimi Hendrix and Barbara Mandrell. Bob quotes, “The location of my star pretty much says it all!” In 2014 Bob was invited
by The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum to perform at the prestigious, “Poets and Prophets Series” as a “Salute to Bob DiPiero.” Most recently the CMA presented Bob with their CMA Chairman’s Award in recognition of his outstanding contributions to the music industry and songwriting community. "I'm always trying to put myself in the shoes of the people who turn the radio on every day looking for something that means something to them," he says. "Other than that, I attribute my success to the fact that I love what I do. My work is my hobby."
