Merrills unique lead voice of the famous Osmond family is also an established solo artist. Merrill Osmond has performed throughout the world in virtually every major venue.

Merrills incredible voice comes through as the lead singer of the Osmond Brothers, as you have heard on some you hear on hit records such as One Bad Apple, Crazy Horses, Yo-Yo, Down by the Lazy River, Love Me for a Reason and many other countless hits.

In collaboration with his brothers, Merrill sang lead to the group's collective unbelievable 27 gold records - many of which he shared the production credits and has written the music and lyrics for five number one hit records. Collectively the Osmonds have produced 47 platinum and gold records. In the history of the rock era, no other recording artists have earned as many gold records in one year as the Osmond family. Not even the Beatles surpassed the record of the Osmonds eleven gold award certificates in one year, a record the Osmonds still hold today.

Merrill Osmonds powerful influence in the music and entertainment industry leaves a legacy that embraces principles that strengthens families. He is deeply committed to the ideals that have powerfully changed the view of the role we play in the world around us. His talent as a strong leader has moved him into other productions serving as the executive producer of the Donny and Marie Show, on ABC-TV, and many other special presentations for TV as well as motion picture.

Merrill Osmond is also a songwriter, author, producer, motivational speaker and philanthropist. He has produced over 90 teleplays and scripts for television. Merrill brings his amazing talent as a songwriter, writing lyrics and music to many of his recent releases. He is also an author, recently releasing a biography and a book amplifying the depth of the Osmonds 70s gospel rock album the Plan.

Merrills remarkable achievements have earned him notable recognition and honorable titles such as one of the Ten Outstanding Men, 1982 for the United States Jaycees. He has received two Peoples Choice Awards, four number #1 Billboard Hits, and two Grammy Award nominations. In 2003, the Osmond Family were honored for their achievements with their own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Merrills extraordinary leadership skills have been recognized by both President Ronald Regan and President George Bush. Both Presidents have requested his expertise in producing two prominent events, The Making of an Inauguration for President Ronald Regan, and on behalf of President George Bushs Inauguration in 1989, The Quincentennial Inaugural Ball. One event that was special to his heart was, Operation Family Front, as special benefit and television program that provided for the families of servicemen in Operation Desert Storm in 1991.

Merrills true intentional love for the lives he touches shows up in his philanthropic work as the co-founder of the Osmond Foundation, which produces the The Childrens Miracle Network Telethon. one of the largest children's charities in the world. It has helped raise over 4 billion dollars for Children's Hospitals worldwide. He has been awarded Honorary Chairman, and Medalist, in his work for the Utah Special Olympics. Merrill has received many awards for his work with the youth; his passion to serve others comes from his devotion to God and his fellow man. He served in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina accompanying a Quick Response Relief Team to the affected areas providing emergency relief, shelter and support.

Most recently he was honored with a Knighthood by the Military Order of the Temple of Jerusalem in recognition of his philanthropic involvement with religious and charitable organizations

Notes from Merrill

To All My Dear and Loyal Friends,

For some time I have been pondering when I would make this statement. But after much prayer and consulting with my family, I have decided to call it quits as to my personal career. You've probably watched with interest why I've canceled concerts or shut the Facebook pages down a few times. The concern over being able to keep up with the pace and health issues has been on my entire families mind. My grandkids want grandpa around more and they let me know it every day.

I will finish up the commitments to my brothers, but then move to another phase of my life. I have loved you all. You've supported me for so many years. I've read your letters, Facebook entries, listened to you words and even shared your heartaches and tears at times. I've loved it all. All I can say is thanks so much.

My Facebook pages and Blog will be shut down permanently. My website will remain active.

I will be spending the bulk of my time working on large stadium shows and keeping active in the health industry. But more importantly, I’m going to dedicate the rest of my life to Mary. She has sacrificed a lot and it’s hers and my time to enjoy the final years ahead.

Stay happy, don't let anything get you down and above all, know your Savior. He is coming soon. Let's get ready for his return.

I love you all!

The Bear, Merrill.

Merrill's Testimony

I, Merrill Davis Osmond, do whole heartily support and defend The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and its teachings. I testify of the true authority that permeates within this churches structure. I have an absolute witness of the sacred work proceeding forth in the Temples across this world, and the saving ordinances that allow entrance back into Father's kingdom.

I have seen the hand of God perform so many miracles throughout this world that I would be a fool to deny his existence. I have observed the work of the adversary as well. His cunning attempts to lull away Father's children into worldly pleasures has been his plan throughout all time. Satan and his followers are here upon the earth this day laying traps for each of us to fall into. Be very aware of his presence, he can be found in anything to do with pride, ego, power, fame, and money.

The glory of God and those gifts in which he condones are found in the simplest things. He can be found where there is peace, joy, happiness, service, sacrifice, and a humble heart. God's door is always open to us. We alone close this door when we choose to let the world in. We eliminate His still small voice when we are not living His commandments, and choosing to follow the cheap thrills of the moment.

I testify to you that MAN will not endure the punishments of God if he is an abusive individual. I'll say it again, NO MAN that has ever been born on this earth will ever survive the punishments God has in store if he is an abuser. He might think he is getting away with his actions, but I can promise anyone reading this, anyone that is causing harm and undue stress to another, that God will have at you in the end!

I can also testify to the WOMEN that God loves you, he knows your plight. If you are faithful to the end, your Father in heaven will grant you the richest blessings of eternal glory. Your spirits are precious to Him. If you are living with circumstances that do not allow you to grow spiritually, if you are feeling alone with your problems, if you are suffering under the strict demands of an unrighteous man, know that your life is being followed closely by a host of angels. For the effects of your plight will be rewarded unto you tenfold in the end. It is the direct responsibility of the MAN to support, defend, protect, provide, and care for you. And if he isn't listening to God along the way, he will fall!

I believe in God, I believe in his Son, I believe in the Holy Ghost that speaks to us when we are searching for answers. We do not need to fear the future my brothers and sisters. We must only fear ourselves, we are the ones that stop our progress, we are the ones that refuse to see the miracles that are upon us daily. We are the ones that let our ego and pride stand in the way of pure thinking. We are the ones that judge others and rip the fibre out of society and when that happens, we are only judging ourselves.

Oh my dear friends. please humble yourselves and come back to your Father in heaven. Stop believing you have everything figured out in this life, stop thinking you are so wonderful and great, quit judging others and start praising them, be anxiously engaged in good works. Please change your lives while you are still in this mortal world. It is here where you can overcome the flesh, its here where you can be found worthy to enter into new and different realms of understanding. We have the opportunity to make a difference to those we come in contact with. Literally bless them as the Saviour would do. Do we really want to mess up this great opportunity?

Come home my brothers and sisters. If you don't have the faith to take the first step, please put your faith on my shoulders and we will walk together.
