Josh Groban did not grow up dreaming of musical success. In fact, his talents went unrecognized for quite some time. It was not until seventh grade when he joined his school’s vocal choir that he began singing. In truth, he only even joined the group because his fellow friends were in it. Groban, however, possessing an amazing baritone voice, soon went on to be accepted into the Interlochen Arts Program. In 1998, at the age of seventeen, he met Grammy award winning producer, David Foster. Foster immediately recognized the young man’s gift. The singer was not introduced to the public, however, until the 2001 season finale of comedy, Ally McBeal. On the show, Groban played a shy, nerdy kid who asks Ally to his prom. While at the prom, he amazes everyone with his stunning voice. The finale got the singer a lot of attention. Groban then performed at the Inaugural Ball for California governor, Gray Davis. He then hit the television circuit. He appeared on The Late Show, Larry King Live, Oprah, and was dubbed “Opera Boy,” by Rosie O’Donnell. Groban was soon after accepted to the prestigious music school at Carnegie Mellon university, but he declined and signed a recording contract with Warner Bros. Followers of the singer were dubbed, “Grobanites.”
In 2002, the singer released his debut, self-titled album. The album, which went triple platinum, featured artists such as The Corrs and Charlotte Church. The album also had prestigious songwriters such as Richard Marx, Albert Hammond, and Carole Bayer Sager. Groban also performed a duet with Charlotte Church at the closing ceremony for the Winter Olympics in Salt lake City, Utah. There was an estimated one billion viewers. He also starred in the Great performances Series on PBS. Later that year, he sang “The Prayer” and “To Where You Are” at the Nobel peace Prize Concert held in Oslo, Norway. He also performed at the Vatican in Rome with artists such as The Corrs, Lionel Richie, Sting, and Ronan Keating.
In early 2003, he released Josh Groban in Concert. The album was accompanied with a concert DVD. In November of 2002, Groban released an album entitled Closer. The album received mixed reviews.

The Catch: You have to sign up for a
"special" offer (i.e.
blockbuster videos monthly program or
columbia house 5 movies for 49 cents, stuff
like that) and then have to get 10 friends to
do the same. But it's definitely worth it
cuz they'll send you a full blown 40 GB
Photo IPOD!!!
SUGGESTION: USE AN EMAIL ACCOUNT THAT IS NOT
IMPORTANT TO YOU BECAUSE I THINK THEY SEND
YOU JUNK MAIL (IT'S A MARKETING TOOL). I
CREATED A DUMMY ACCOUNT ON HOTMAIL SO ONCE
I'M DONE WITH THIS DEAL I CAN JUST NOT
BOTHER WITH THAT EMAIL ACCOUNT FROM THEN
ON.

[DEFEATING JUSTICE,ONE IDIOT AT A TIME.] | losersalwayswin | Well for those who like Josh (like me) I
think it would be a good idea to see my page
as well, as I have been hailed as the South
African Josh, seeing as I (apparently) sound
like him, or does he sound like me? hehehe | benjordan | | | |
