Early Life:

Josh Groban was born in Los Angeles, California, to a Jewish American father (a descendant of immigrants from Poland and Russia) and a Norwegian American mother.

I didn't feel that I was getting enough creative input. So I went to Bridges Academy to get my grades up to straight A's."

In 1997 and 1998, Groban attended the Interlochen Arts Camp, majoring in musical theater, which is also when he began taking voice lessons outside of school. "I started taking music lessons on the side. I was very much into musical theater. I had a pretty good baritone voice, so I began acting and singing in school productions".

In late 1998, the 17-year-old Groban was introduced by his vocal coach to Grammy-winning producer/arranger David Foster.

I saw Josh perform in concert last night. Oh my god he was AMAZING. Perfection! He sounds better even live! Is that possible? Only Josh can do that. He was so warm and so funny that I was sad when the encores were over and he had to leave.

[I LOVE ADRIANA]

Aaaahhh! Lucky you! I'm going to go to his concert for sure sometime. I plan on buying some good seats when they go on sale. Where did you sit?
