DESCRIPTION
Josh Groban had a good head start in 2001 when David Foster took Groban under his wing; a massive songwriter and producer in America and Canada that has big names like Celine Dion, Andrea Bocelli, Madonna, and Whitney Houston in his curriculum vitae. Foster’s time and money were well spent when Groban became one of the biggest selling classical crossover artists in the world. In only eight years, Groban sold more than 24 million albums worldwide. Groban’s charm is in his boyish good looks, his deep textured voice and his witty personality. His first albums were strictly his baritone range, but Groban has more recently used falsetto and working his way up to the tenor range. His voice is a lot like Michael Ball’s (with far less vibrato) and he never uses operatic vocals. Groban is also very creative; he likes to play his own instruments, write songs, take artistic control over his albums and is unafraid of taking risks. If you like David Foster’s other artists such as Celine Dion, Barbara Streisand and Lara Fabian, you should like Josh Groban.
