Biography

Josh and his younger brother, Chris Groban, were born on the exact same day, 4 years apart.

Performed the role of 'Tevye' in "Fiddler on the Roof" at The Los Angeles County High School for the Arts.

During an appearance in the The Late Late Show with James Corden (June/2017), singer Katy Perry confessed she wrote the song "The One That Got Away" about Josh Groban.

He was first "seen" when he stood in for Andrea Bocelli to sing "The Prayer" with Céline Dion at the 1998 Grammy rehearsals. This led to the MC for the Grammys that year, Rosie O'Donnell, to invite Josh to appear on her show.

When David E. Kelley witnessed the audience reaction to Josh singing at California. Gov. Gray Davis' Inaugural, he wrote Josh into an Ally McBeal (1997) show where the audience in the show exhibits the same reaction to his voice. His character of Malcolm Wyatt was so popular that he was asked to come back the next season to reprise his role.

[in 2001 interview] I sang all my life. My parents had me singing around the house when I was younger. I'm not from a showbiz family or anything. It's just something I enjoyed doing. When I started getting into seventh or eighth grade, I became part of the theater program. I went to L.A. County High School for the Arts and did more singing there. It's really something I did on the side and then I met David Foster. I was working with a voice teacher who was a friend of the family's. David . . . called him and told him he needed a singer for an event he was doing. That's how that started.

The shower is my time to open up my operatic chops, because of the enormous echo. You sound five times as big in the shower, so I break into some "Nessun Dorma" [from Giacomo Puccini's "Turandot"] or Pearl Jam. You've got to go big when you're in the shower. There's no half-singing in the shower, you're either a rock star or an opera diva.

No matter what your age and no matter where you come from, everyone can change the world in some way, whether it's being a mentor to someone younger than you or someone that doesn't have as much experience as you. If you're passionate enough, you can do whatever you want and definitely change the world.

My mom gets two Christmas trees every year. She loves them and had too many ornaments for one, so she gets two. If you can walk through the hallway without getting stuck in the eye by a pine needle, then it can't be Christmas.
