Josh Winslow Groban was born in Los Angeles, California, to a Polish-Russian father and a Norwegian mother. His maternal great-grandparents were from the eastern Norwegian district of Toten. Groban was raised an Episcopalian. Chris, his younger brother by four years shares a birthday with him.
Groban debuted as a singer in seventh grade, but soon put it on hold for a few years. "I enjoyed the arts aspects, but my grades were slipping. I didn't feel that I was getting enough creative input. So I went to Bridges Academy to get my grades up to straight A's." While at Bridges Academy, Groban took normal classes from 9:00 AM until 1:00 PM, and then afterwards attended theatre classes. In 1997 and 1998, Groban attended the Interlochen Arts Camp in Michigan, majoring in music theatre, which is also when he began taking vocal lessons outside of school.
