Records offered Groban an exclusive recording contract with Foster at the production helm. Indeed the 30-year-old Groban has made a stunning ascent since his career began to take flight more than a decade ago when multi-platinum songwriter and producer David Foster asked him to stand in for Andrea Bocelli for a duet on “The Prayer” with Celine Dion at the 1999 Grammy Awards.
He and his recordings have been nominated for more than a dozen awards including an American Music Award, a World Music Award, a Juno Award, two Grammy Awards, and an Academy Award for “Believe” from the 2005 film Polar Express. Groban ranks as Billboard’s 14th top-selling artist of the 2000s with more than 20 million units sold in the U.S.
In 2007, the Grammy-nominated star became the best-selling recording artist of the year thanks to sales of his double-platinum 2006 album Awake and his blockbuster 5x-platinum Christmas album, Noel - the best-selling album of 2007. Over the last year and a half alone, the 30-year-old Los Angeles native has released his fifth studio album, the platinum-selling Illuminations, completed a sold-out world tour, and starred in the feature film Crazy, Stupid, Love, as well as on NBC’s The Office.Īn international superstar, Groban has sold more than 25 million albums and DVDs worldwide, and filled arenas from North America and Europe to Australia, South Africa, and the Philippines. Josh Groban is a triple-threat: an internationally renowned singer, songwriter, and actor who has entertained fans across the globe with his multi-platinum albums and DVDs, electrifying live performances, and comedic film and television appearances.
