Joshua Winslow Groban (born February 27, 1981) is a Grammy-nominated U.S. singer-song-writer. He has concentrated his career so far mostly in concert singing and recordings, although he has stated that he wishes to pursue music theatre in the future.
Josh Winslow Groban was born in Los Angeles, California, to a Jewish father (a descendant of Polish and Russian immigrants) and a Norwegian mother. His maternal great-grandparents were from the eastern Norwegian district of Toten. His father converted to Christianity upon marriage, and Groban was raised an Episcopalian. Chris, his younger brother by four years shares a birthday with him.
Groban debuted as a singer in fifth grade, but soon put it on hold for a few years. "I enjoyed the arts aspects, but my grades were slipping. 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." While at Bridges Academy, Groban took normal classes from 9:00 AM until 1:00 PM, and then afterwards attended theatre classes.
