Josh Groban is classically trained
He found success in easy listening and adult contemporary, but Groban has also had some classical training. He was accepted to and briefly attended Carnegie Mellon University to study musical theatre, but left after four months when he was offered a record contract.
In the magazine Interview, Groban explained to Renée Fleming that he was especially interested in artists “who decided not to settle into one particular musical style—people like Paul Simon, who took folk music and put African music on top of it.”
Josh Groban’s voice
Josh Groban has described himself as a ‘tenor in training’. He has been referred to as both a tenor and a baritone, with his range reaching from G2 (two Gs below middle C) to B4, just short of a tenor C in live performances.
Although his voice has a lot of musical theatre influences, Groban also performs some opera. He has cited Pavarotti as one of his musical influences, and he regularly sings in Italian, Spanish and French.
Who is Josh Groban’s girlfriend?
Josh Groban is currently dating actress Schuyler Helford. The couple have been seen together at various events in recent months.
Josh Groban’s film and TV appearances
Josh Groban has made a number of screen appearances, often playing a fictionalised version of himself. His most famous credits include Glee,Parks and Recreation and Crazy Stupid Love, in which he played Emma Stone’s boyfriend.
“I am a single man at the moment, yes,” Josh told Access Hollywood Live’s Billy Bush and Kit Hoover, when asked about the current status of his love life.
“Not after this album!” Kit joked.
“This album’s gonna get me a girlfriend,” Josh laughed.
The 29-year-old smooth-voiced sensation — who has sold more than 20 million albums worldwide – wrote 11 of 13 songs on his new album, and said that the self-penned tracks were largely inspired by his personal experiences.
“How many girls are going to come out of the woodwork [thinking you wrote specific songs about them]?” Kit asked Josh.
“Five of the 13 songs are about John Mayer,” Josh joked.
“These songs are kind of personal,” Josh continued. “This was a three-year period where very specific moments in my life very much triggered these kinds of songs.”
Josh worked with mega-producer Rick Rubin on “Illuminations” (who’s most known for his work with The Beastie Boys and Run DMC, as well as co-founding Def Jam Records with Russell Simmons), prompting Josh to adopt a more hip-hop moniker — “MC J.Gro.”
”’MC J. Gro’ was definitely in the house,” Josh joked, of his time with the legendary producer.
“I was used to producers who were kind of like demo producers, who gave you something that you could jam in your car on the way home and felt immediately gratifying,” Josh continued. “Rick likes to work very slowly and so for him to work in Capitol Records with 60 musicians was totally new for him.
“For me to sit in a room with a piano in one take with some of Johnny Cash’s musicians — that was totally new for me. So, we both got to learn something,” Josh added. “We both got to tap into a genre that was different for us and I think that excitement is on the record.”
Kit caught Billy off guard when she outed her co-host for belting Josh’s tunes in his car.
“I am not afraid to roll up the windows and belt out Groban along with Groban,” Billy exclaimed. “I always think like, ‘Maybe [Josh] needs me!’”
“Roll down the windows when you do that,” Josh laughed. “You wanna make sure the people can hear!”
