Joshua Winslow Groban (born February 27, 1981) is a Grammy nominated American singer/songwriter known for his mature and lyrical baritone voice. He has concentrated his career so far mostly in concert singing and recordings, although he has said that he wishes to persue musical theater in the future.
In late 1998, the17-year-old Groban was introduced by his vocal coach to Grammy-winning producer/arranger David Foster. Groban worked for Foster as a rehearsal singer on a series of high-profile events, including the 1991 Grammy Awards where, as a stand-in for Andrea Bocelli, he rehearsed Foster's "The Prayer" with Celine Dion-and the January 1991 inauguration of Gray Davis as governor of California.
Groban was offered a recording contract at Warner Bros. Records through Foster's 143 Records imprit. With Regard to signing Groban, the singer's eponymous debut album Josh Groban was released on November 20, 2001. Over the next year, it went from gold to double-platinum.
Groban's second album Closer, also produced 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 him personally from listening to it.
Two months after Closer was released, it rose on the Billboard charts from number 11 to number one. "You Raise Me Up" became very popular on the adult contemporary charts. Groban also performed the song "Remember" (with Tanja Tzarovska) on the Troy soundtrack. He also performed on soundtrack to the 2004 animated film The Polar Express, featured in the song "Believe".
