本　名：Josh Winslow Groban 生　日：1981-02-27 星　座：水瓶座 身　高：約六尺 (182.9公分) 出生地：美國加州洛杉磯 學　校：Carnegie Mellon 戲劇學院 (休學中) 興　趣：打鼓、彈琴、戲劇表演、上網 小傳聞：似乎有學過三年日文 討厭的事：早上五點被叫起來訪問 喜歡的音樂：搖滾樂、電子合成樂、非洲-愛爾蘭音樂 合唱過的藝人：席琳狄翁、芭芭拉史翠珊、蘿拉費比安、夏綠蒂、可兒家族 “喬許其實是男生版的席琳迪翁”，大衛佛斯特直接說出了他的看法。 打造天后傳奇、美聲奇跡后，14座葛萊美獎超級制作人大衛佛斯特(David Foster)的敏銳觸角再度為樂壇探測到全新的聲音─喬許葛洛班(Josh Groban)。 喬許的男中音音質兼具流行音樂的浪漫抒情、古典音樂的圣潔優雅與歌劇音樂的戲劇活力。21歲的年紀更為21世紀的西洋樂壇賦予一份感性的青春情懷。 98年末，來自洛杉磯的歌手喬許葛洛班透過聲樂老師的推介，遇見了超級制作人大衛佛斯特。在大衛佛斯特的提攜之下，喬許暫時放下著名大學音樂戲劇系的課程，積極參加各大音樂活動。99年初即代替波伽利參加葛萊美獎的彩排與天后席琳狄翁同臺合唱；2000年的民主黨提名募款晚會上與芭芭拉史翠珊同臺；并應邀擔任跨界天后莎拉布萊曼《La Luna月光女神巡回演唱會》的特別嘉賓，他與莎拉布萊曼合唱的"There For Me"更為樂迷所津津樂道，收錄在《La Luna》演唱會DVD中。 2001年喬許獲邀參加電視影集《艾莉的異想世界》演出，在劇情中的高校畢業舞會獻唱一曲"You're Still You"，精采的演唱立即收到近萬封的電子郵件詢問風暴。在人氣的簇擁下，喬許二度客串該影集演出及演唱"To Where You Are"；此外，他還與加拿大新歌后蘿拉費比安傾情對唱史蒂芬史匹柏年度鉅作《A.I. 人工智慧》的電影主題曲"For Always"。 2001年11月喬許首張同名專輯《Josh Groban / 唯有喬許》于全美發行，由師傅大衛佛斯特統籌制作，號召席琳狄翁、瑪麗亞凱莉、波伽利、莎拉布萊曼等暢銷專輯幕后制作精英精致打造。喬許回旋于流行與古典的多變性歌唱實力完全在首張專輯《唯有喬許》中多元體現，一新浪漫情歌與圣歌的聽覺氣質，更啟動了全新的性靈聽覺悸動。 Pop and classical singer Josh Groban made his debut in the seventh grade, but then put music aside for a few years until he enrolled at the Interlochen Arts Program. In late 1998, he hooked up with a friend of his vocal coach, producer/writer/arranger David Foster. Groban worked for Foster as a rehearsal singer on a series of high-profile events, including the inauguration of Grey Davis as governor of California and the Grammy Awards (at which he rehearsed Foster's "The Prayer" with Celine Dion in place of Andrea Bocelli). He was accepted into the theater department of Carnegie Mellon University, but put his education on hold when he was offered a recording contract at Warner Bros. Records through Foster's 143 imprint. He made his recording debut singing "For Always" with Lara Fabian on the soundtrack to A.I.: Artificial Intelligence, and appeared in the 2001 season finale of the television series Ally McBeal. His debut album, Josh Groban, was released in November 2001. Over the next year, Groban became a star. His album went double platinum, and he had his own PBS special in November 2002. A month later, he performed "To Where You Are" and "The Prayer" at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert in Oslo, Norway, and joined the Corrs, Ronan Keating, Sting, Lionel Richie, and others for a holiday performance at the Vatican in Rome. In November 2003, Groban issued his second album, Closer. Two months later, he earned his first number one record when Closer skyrocketed from number 11 to the top spot on the Billboard album charts. In 2006, Groban released his third studio album, Awake, featuring guest appearances by the vocal group Ladysmith Black Mambazo and jazz pianist Herbie Hancock. The holiday-themed Noel appeared in 2007, with Awake Live following in 2008.
