With a career spanning chart-topping albums, global tours, and acclaimed stage and screen performances, he has sold over 35 million albums worldwide and headlined legendary venues across multiple continents. His catalog spans a series of chart-topping blockbuster albums, including Josh Groban (5x-platinum), Closer (6x-platinum), Noël (7x-platinum), Awake (2x-platinum), Illuminations, All That Echoes, Stages (his first UK #1 album), Bridges, Harmony and Gems. A dynamic presence on Broadway, Groban earned Tony® nominations for his roles in Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812 and the 2023 revival of Sweeney Todd, which also garnered him a GRAMMY® nomination and widespread critical acclaim. His versatility extends to film and television appearances ranging from Glee and The Office to Crazy, Stupid, Love and Netflix’s The Good Cop, as well as starring as the Beast in ABC’s Beauty and the Beast: A 30th Celebration. Beyond performance, Groban remains an active arts education philanthropist and advocate, and his Find Your Light Foundation helps enrich the lives of young students through arts, education, and cultural awareness.
