Early life[edit]

Josh Groban was born in Los Angeles, California, to Jack Groban, a businessman, and Lindy Groban (née Johnston), a school teacher.^[11][12] Josh's younger brother, Chris, was born on Josh's fourth birthday.^[13] Josh's father is a descendant of Jewish immigrants from Poland and Ukraine,^[14][15] and converted from Judaism to Christianity upon marrying Josh's mother.^[13] Josh's mother's ancestry includes English, German, and Norwegian; one of her own grandfathers had also been Jewish.^{[16][17][18][15]} His parents are Episcopalians.^[8]

Groban first sang in public when he was in the seventh grade. His music teacher chose him to sing a solo of 'S'wonderful' at the school's cabaret night, where he sang alone on stage for the first time.^[19] At this time, he was more focused on acting, playing Tevye in his high school's production of Fiddler on the Roof.^[8] In the summers of 1997 and 1998, he also attended the Interlochen Center for the Arts Camp in Michigan,^[14] majoring in music theater, and began taking vocal lessons. He went on to attend the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts as a theater major and graduated in 1999.^[14] He was admitted to and briefly attended Carnegie Mellon University, intending to study musical theatre, but left four months into his first semester after being offered a recording contract and deciding to pursue his singing career.^[14]

Music career[edit]

1998–2001: Debut[edit]

In late 1998, the 17-year-old Groban was introduced by his vocal coach, Seth Riggs, to Grammy-winning producer and arranger David Foster and future manager Brian Avnet.^{[20][not in citation given]} At the time, Groban had no recording experience and was preparing to begin studying at Carnegie Mellon University.^[20] Groban worked for David Foster as a rehearsal singer on a series of high-profile events, including the January 1999 inauguration of Gray Davis as Governor of California and the 1999 Grammy Awards where—as a stand-in for Andrea Bocelli—he rehearsed Foster's 'The Prayer' with Céline Dion. According to manager Avnet, Groban was very nervous about standing in for Bocelli and had to be talked into it, but his performance prompted the show hostess, Rosie O'Donnell, to ask him to appear on her show the following week, which then led to an appearance on Ally McBeal.^[20] Creator David E. Kelley created character Malcolm Wyatt for Groban in the season finale aired in May 2001. The character of Malcolm Wyatt was so popular, prompting 8,000 emails from viewers,^[21] that Groban was asked to return the next season to reprise his role and perform 'To Where You Are.' Avnet claims this sequence of events effectively got Groban's career off the ground.^[20]

Groban was offered a recording contract at Warner Bros. Records through Foster's 143 Records imprint. Avnet told HitQuarters that Warner initially proved resistant to the deal because 'They were afraid they wouldn't be able to get a voice like that on radio.'^[20] Explaining his reasons for signing the artist, Foster said: 'I love his natural ability in the pop and rock arena, but I love his sense of classics even more. He's a true musical force to be reckoned with.'^[21] Under Foster's influence, Groban's first album focused more on classics such as 'Gira Con Me Questa Notte' and 'Alla Luce Del Sole.'

Groban performed 'There For Me' with Sarah Brightman on her 2000–01 La Luna World Tour, and was featured on her 'La Luna' concert DVD. He recorded 'For Always' with Lara Fabian on the movie soundtrack to A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001). Groban performed in many benefit shows, including: 'The Andre Agassi Grand Slam Event For Children,' singing alongside Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Don Henley, and Robin Williams; 'Muhammad Ali's Fight Night Foundation' which honored Michael J. Fox and others; 'The Family Celebration' (2001), which was co-hosted by President Bill Clinton and his wife, Hillary Clinton, and David E. Kelley and his wife, Michelle Pfeiffer; and Michael Milken's CapCure event, which raises funds for cancer research.

The singer's self-titled debut album Josh Groban was released on November 20, 2001. Over the next year it went from gold to double-platinum.^[22]

2002–2005: Closer[edit]

On February 24, 2002, Groban performed 'The Prayer' with Charlotte Church at the closing ceremonies of the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, and by November, he had his own PBS special, 'Josh Groban In Concert' (2002). In December 2002, he performed 'To Where You Are' and sang 'The Prayer' in a duet with Sissel Kyrkjebø at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert in Oslo, Norway. He joined The Corrs, Ronan Keating, Sting, Lionel Richie, and others for a Christmas performance at the Vatican in Rome, Italy. In 2003, Groban performed at the David Foster concert for World Children's Day, singing 'The Prayer' with Celine Dion and the finale song, 'Aren't They All Our Children?' with artists including Yolanda Adams, Nick Carter, Enrique Iglesias, and Celine Dion.

Groban's second album Closer, produced and written by Foster, was released on November 11, 2003. Groban said that he believed that this second album was a better reflection of him, and that his audience would be able to get a better idea of his personality from listening to it.

Two months after Closer was released, it rose on the Billboard charts from number 11 to number one.^[23] Groban's cover of 'You Raise Me Up' became his third most popular song on the adult contemporary charts as of March 2004. Later that year, he also performed the song 'Remember' (with Tanja Tzarovska) on the Troy soundtrack, 'Believe' on the soundtrack to the 2004 animated film The Polar Express and a cover of Linkin Park's 'My December'.

In the summer of 2004, Groban returned to Interlochen, performing and discussing his earlier experiences with local residents and campers. On November 30, 2004, his second live DVD, Live At The Greek, was released; it was also shown as a Great Performances special on PBS. Also in 2004, Groban performed 'Remember When It Rained,' backed by a full orchestra, at the American Music Awards, where he was nominated for Favorite Male Artist in the pop category; he was also nominated for a People's Choice Award in that year. His recording of 'Believe' secured a 2005 Academy Award nomination for the song's two writers, Glen Ballard and Alan Silvestri,^[24] and earned them a Grammy in the category Best Song Written for a Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media at the ceremony held in February 2006.^[25]

He performed a duet with Barbra Streisand ('All I Know of Love') and with Mireille Mathieu ('Over the Rainbow'). As to his future, Groban was open to a plethora of possibilities. He said, 'I am fortunate enough to have had many really big moments in my career. I think the mistake a lot of people in my position make is to always search for the next big thing. I am looking forward to playing some small theaters. I'm looking forward to writing more. I want to delve further into my acting career and explore some of the film and TV opportunities that I haven't had time for. My outlook is to expect the unexpected. And when the next step comes, I'm prepared to take it.'^[10]

2010–2015: Illuminations; All That Echoes[edit]

Groban finished his fifth studio album, entitled Illuminations, and the album was released on November 15, 2010.^[26] Most of the songs on the album are about 'specific situations that I've had where love has existed and ultimately failed,' Groban told The New York Times, adding: 'And other songs are about the quest, and it just not working out.' Groban wrote 11 of the 13 songs on the album.^[27] The first single from the album, 'Hidden Away,' was made available for free download via Facebook on September 8.^[28] 'For me to sit in a room with a piano in one take with some of Johnny Cash's musicians—that was totally new for me.' Josh added. 'and I think that excitement is on the record.'^[27] On October 12, a second single from the upcoming album, 'Você Existe Em Mim', was made available on iTunes.^[29] This song is sung in Portuguese and was written by Brazilian artist Carlinhos Brown. The Washington Post said: 'Illuminations' is not a revelation, but it offers a perfectly fine, and often quite lovely, glimpse at a pop-classical crossover artist in the middle of crossing over.'^[30] Groban plans on making one more record with Rick Rubin.^[31] Beginning May 12, 2011 and continuing through December of that year, Groban undertook the 81-city Straight to You Tour to promote Illuminations, encompassing appearances in North America, Europe, and South Africa.^[32]

On May 24, 2011, Groban appeared as a mystery guest star on the season 12 finale of Dancing with the Stars to surprise Petra Nemcova by singing 'You Raise Me Up' to her dance. When she saw that it was he who was actually singing and not one of the usual performers, she momentarily was too stunned to continue dancing.

In the comedy Crazy, Stupid, Love., a film starring Steve Carell and Ryan Gosling, released on July 29, 2011, Groban played a character named Richard, a caddish and nerdy attorney.^[54][55]

In 2012, he appeared in episode 5 of series 12 of the revived British comedy panel showRoom 101. In October the same year, his cover of 'You Raise Me Up' was used in the Halloween-based teen comedy film, Fun Size in which Peng turns on the car stereo in Roosevelt's car and while he and Roosevelt are fighting over it, the knob breaks and the stereo blares the song at full volume, thus making Roosevelt, Wren, Peng and April uncool as they roll onto a night-cruising street.

Voice[edit]

Various music critics have described Groban's voice in different ways, with some referring to him as a tenor^[63] and others as a baritone.^[64][65] In performance, Groban's music goes as low as G₂ (as in the songs 'To Where You Are' and 'Higher Window') and extends up to at least B₄ (as heard in 'The Duel' from Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812^[66]). This places his voice lower than the tenor range on the low end, and just short of tenor C, and therefore above the baritone range, on the high end.^[67][68]

There is no authoritative system of voice classification in non-classical music. The problem lies in the fact that classical terms are used to describe not merely various vocal ranges, but specific vocal timbres each unique to those respective ranges, and produced by the classical training techniques with which most popular singers are not intimately familiar and which are not universally employed by the few that are. In a 2002 New York Times article, Groban described himself as a 'tenor in training'.^[69] He mentioned during his appearance on Late Show with David Letterman in December 2013 that he is a high lyric baritone.^{[citation needed]} On Twitter, in March 2012, he had also mentioned that he is a baritone 'with some high notes up my sleeve.'^[70]

Inspired by a visit with Nelson Mandela during a 2004 trip to South Africa, he established the Josh Groban Foundation to help children in need through education, healthcare and the arts. Mandela appointed Groban as an Official Ambassador for Mandela's Project 46664, a campaign to help raise Global awareness of HIV/AIDS in Africa. On April 25, 2007, Groban performed with the African Children's Choir on American Idol's 'Idol Gives Back' episode. Also on September 2, 2007, Groban donated $150,000 to Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools to fund music education.^[72]

On February 28, 2008, he appeared in One Night Live at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Canada with Bryan Adams, Sarah McLachlan, Jann Arden and RyanDan in aid of the Sunnybrook Hospital Women and Babies Program. In honor of his 27th birthday, his fans set out to raise $27,000 in a project called 'Raise 27'. They ended up raising a total of $44,227 for the Josh Groban Foundation, to benefit the Noah's Ark children's orphanage called Siyawela in South Africa. Groban has since referred to this donation as 'the best birthday present ever'.^[73] Groban performed at The Angel Ball on October 21, 2010 to benefit the Gabrielles Angel Foundation for cancer research. In April 2013 and the previous year, Groban took part in Global Poverty Project's 'Live Below the Line' campaign, which consists in living on $1.50 a day to raise awareness of extreme poverty around the world.

Josh Groban took some time out of his busy schedule to help teach music to some lucky students at a school in the Bronx!

The 36-year-old singer – whose new song “Evermore” is featured on the Beauty and the Beast soundtrack – documented the experience on Instagram earlier this week.

“What an inspiring afternoon at PS91 in the Bronx,” Joshwrote. “These kids are so inspired by music and the arts. It’s all about the look on their faces, that spark.”

“Thank you Kathy Damkohler, executive director of Education Through Music and Principle Meridith Struhl Nasjlett and mostly to the students for their glorious voices and focus and drive,” he added. “Future leaders in the making. #artsed #findyourlight (edited last photos because there were some “looks on their faces” that were caught off guard 😂).”

“Thanks PS 91 kids for pulling me up to sing Hallelujah with you!!!” Josh captioned the video below, in which he leads the kids in singing the late Leonard Cohen‘s hit song “Hallelujah.”

Pictured inside: Josh and his fellow cast members of Broadway’s The Great Comet attending the Culture For One To Host Fifth Annual Benefit To Provide Access To the Arts For NYC Children in Foster Care at Espace on Monday (April 3) in New York City.
