“乔许其实是男生版的席琳迪翁”，大卫佛斯特直接说出了他的看法。
打造天后传奇、美声奇迹后，14座葛莱美奖超级制作人大卫佛斯特(David Foster)的敏锐触角再度为乐坛探测到全新的声音─乔许葛洛班(Josh Groban)。
乔许的男中音音质兼具流行音乐的浪漫抒情、古典音乐的圣洁优雅与歌剧音乐的戏剧活力。21岁的年纪更为21世纪的西洋乐坛赋予一份感性的青春情怀。
98年末，来自洛杉矶的歌手乔许葛洛班透过声乐老师的推介，遇见了超级制作人大卫佛斯特。在大卫佛斯特的提携之下，乔许暂时放下著名大学音乐戏剧系的课程，积极参加各大音乐活动。99年初即代替波伽利参加葛莱美奖的彩排与天后席琳狄翁同台合唱；2000年的民主党提名募款晚会上与芭芭拉史翠珊同台；并应邀担任跨界天后莎拉布莱曼《La Luna月光女神巡回演唱会》的特别嘉宾，他与莎拉布莱曼合唱的"There For Me"更为乐迷所津津乐道，收录在《La Luna》演唱会DVD中。
2001年乔许获邀参加电视影集《艾莉的异想世界》演出，在剧情中的高校毕业舞会献唱一曲"You're Still You"，精采的演唱立即收到近万封的电子邮件询问风暴。在人气的簇拥下，乔许二度客串该影集演出及演唱"To Where You Are"；此外，他还与加拿大新歌后萝拉费比安倾情对唱史蒂芬史匹柏年度钜作《A.I. 人工智慧》的电影主题曲"For Always"。
2001年11月乔许首张同名专辑《Josh Groban / 唯有乔许》于全美发行，由师傅大卫佛斯特统筹制作，号召席琳狄翁、玛丽亚凯莉、波伽利、莎拉布莱曼等畅销专辑幕后制作精英精致打造。乔许回旋于流行与古典的多变性歌唱实力完全在首张专辑《唯有乔许》中多元体现，一新浪漫情歌与圣歌的听觉气质，更启动了全新的性灵听觉悸动。
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.
