Josh Groban

Joshua Winslow "Josh" Groban (born February 27, 1981) is an American singer, songwriter, actor, and record producer. His first four solo albums have been certified multi-platinum, and he was charted in 2007 as the number-one best selling artist in the United States, with over 22.3 million records in the nation. To date, he has sold over 25 million records worldwide.

Groban originally studied acting, but moved to singing as his voice developed. Groban attended the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts, a free public school on the campus of California State University, Los Angeles, where students receive a conservatory-style education.

David Foster called Groban to stand-in for an ailing Andrea Bocelli to rehearse a duet, "The Prayer", with Celine Dion at the rehearsal for the 1998 Grammy Awards.Rosie O'Donnell immediately invited him to appear on her talk show. Foster asked him to sing at the California Governor's Gray Davis' 1999 inauguration. He was cast on Ally McBeal by the show's creator, David E. Kelley, performing "You're Still You" for the 2001 season finale.

    Famous quotes by Josh Groban:

    "I get terrible butterflies. Before I go onstage, I'll have to freak out for five minutes. I scream. It seems to help!"
    "There's no half-singing in the shower, you're either a rock star or an opera diva."
    "If there is one thing that is constant in this world, it is the power of music."
    "I still like to keep all the love songs for the Grobanites, I like to make sure that they know those are just for them."
    "Singing brings out in me what I can't normally bring out in everyday life. It's an incredible feeling to be able to bare your soul to people you've never met in a way that can make them understand so clearly what you mean. That's what I love most about singing ... it becomes my truest form of communication."
    "I like my hair long because I have really big ears."
    "Seeing these performers live is a dream come true."
    "Don't try to be like me. Try to be like yourself. Try to be very good at being yourself."
    "After using four different languages on an album, it's tough to decide which one I'm gonna actually learn to speak. I always study the lyric, make sure I know what I'm singing, and try to get the pronunciation as perfect as possible."
    "Grobanite makes me think of a type of harmless crustacean."
    "My biggest blast-off hit was 'You Raise Me Up.' If you ever have a wedding or a funeral, it's a good pick."

    Closer

    by: Josh Groban

    Tell me his name I want to know
    The way he looks and where you go
    I need to see his face, I need to understand
    Why you and I came to an end
    Tell me again I want to hear
    Who broke my faith in all these years
    Who lays with you at night while I'm here all alone
    Remembering when I was your own
    I let you go, I let you fly
    Why do I keep on asking why? I let you go
    Now that I found a way to keep somehow
    More than a broken vow
    Tell me the words I never said
    Show me the tears you never shed
    Give me the touch the one you promised to be mine
    Or has it vanished for all time
    I let you go, I let you fly
    Why do I keep on asking why? I let you go
    Now that I found a way to keep somehow
    More than a broken vow
    I close my eyes and dream of you and I and then I realize
    There's more to love than only bitterness and lies I close my eyes
    I'd give away my soul to hold you once again
    And never let this promise end
    I let you go, I let you fly
    Now that I know, I'm asking why? I let you go
    Now that I found a way to keep somehow
    More than a broken vow
