Groban, the product of an arts curriculum, focused on theater at the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts, where he graduated in 1999. His vocal career took off shortly thereafter in the early 2000s. One of his more notable early acting roles was a recurring spot in the fifth season of Ally McBeal in 2001. But it was comedic appearances, often in cameo roles, in sitcoms like The Office, Parks and Recreation and, perhaps most notably, I t’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, that garnered him some of his most unexpected praise, exposing him to a new audience.

In 2016, Groban embraced his then-biggest role, making his Broadway premiere as the socially awkward Pierre Bezukhov in the musical Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812. That natural progression from smaller roles and cameos through Broadway served Groban well as he embraced his first starring sitcom role this year in Netflix’s. “You know, it’s not every day you get offered a lead role in a new television show,” joked Groban of a character that was developed by creator Andy Breckman specifically for him.
“I said to my manager, ‘This is not normal to get something like this. Let’s take a break.’ I was feeling a little fried in the studio anyway,” continued Groban of his experience working on his eighth studio album Bridges at the time The Good Cop role was presented to him. In the first ten episodes of the family-friendly comedy-drama, which remain available for streaming via despite the fact it wasn’t renewed, Groban portrays Anthony Caruso Jr., a New York police lieutenant who does things the right way, opposite sitcom legend Tony Danza ( Taxi, Who’s The Boss?) who portrays Caruso’s father, a corrupt ex-cop.

Following his 2015 album Stages, which consisted of Broadway covers, and his 2016 starring turn, Bridges features a return to songwriting for the singer, who co-wrote nine of the album’s twelve tracks. “ It was something that was kind of bubbling in me for a long time. There have been experiences in the past where it takes a minute to get the ball rolling until you find your inspiration and with, it just happened right off the bat,” said Groban of the writing process this time around. “ Writing with people like Bernie Herms and Toby Gad, Steve Jordan and all these people, you just come up with ideas that you are so happy are coming out of the speakers. So this is the most inspired I’ve been making music in a really, really long time. And, to me, there’s a real energy on the album that expresses that excitement. I felt like doing all the other things – making a musical theatre record, doing Broadway – it made my voice stronger.” Groban is obviously renowned for his voice – and for good reason – but he’s an underrated storyteller.
In his dual role of performer and master of ceremonies on the concert stage, he paces the show and engages the audience via his spinning of tales and delivery of anecdotes. And while aware that it’s important to connect with any song he’s going to sing, Groban acknowledges that the ability to impart something personal can often make a great song transcendent. “When I was working with Rick Rubin a few albums ago, he taught me a lot about songwriting and the process of it and what needs to go into it. One of the things he said was, ‘Your goal, when writing songs for one of your albums, is that the stories are coming from you instead of just being presented by you as a great vocalist,’” Groban said of the legendary producer who was at the helm of his 2010 album Illuminations. “When you have a chance to write a song that is a favorite of fans and also is based on your experiences, I think it changes the way you connect with your fanbase. Because I think there’s a bit of a lack of original music in this kind of crossover world.” Imparting that sense of a personal experience is something at which Groban is particularly adept in the live setting.
Whether it’s a familiar cover by an artist like Billy Joel or well-known fare from films like Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory or Once, his ability to frame his most personal songs around stories and a voice that make the covers his own, allow the Groban-penned cuts from Bridges to resonate with any audience member, new or old, pushing the genre forward in the process. “Through all of it, one of my favorite things in the entire process is touring,” said Groban of the he headlines alongside Idina Menzel. “As great as these songs sound on the album, they’re just taken to a new place on a main stage. And we’re back in arenas. So it gives us an opportunity to really fill a big space with that energy.” His desire to push his genre of music forward, as he takes his live show into bigger venues, is indicative of Groban’s keen awareness of his place in a continually changing music industry.

The good news about the way that this business is shifting in all kinds of ways – most of them uncomfortable – is that it allows you to kind of be more carefree in showing all sides of who you are, building your fanbase based on the uniqueness of everything that you can do,” he said. “Whereas in the beginning, it was like, ‘Ok, if you don’t sell five million albums, you’re toast.’ There was so much more of an emphasis on brand and image, I think, back when the music business was doing much more of a traditional marketing kind of a thing. And now, I think that what people are discovering is that fans want all of you. They want the whole picture.” Social media has allowed fans to get closer to stars than ever before and those that aren’t merely surviving the changing landscape but thriving, are the ones who aren’t afraid to be themselves and be relatable.
“I feel now, more than ever, it’s important to take risks. It’s important to push boundaries. It’s important to scare yourself and challenge your fans and do things that might be great or might flop. But it’s important to take the risks and have fun doing it,” said Groban. “Because the bigger risk is to stay bored.
The bigger risk is to get stale – to bore yourself and bore your fans. The goal is always to stay in your lane but continue to widen it. And that’s what I’m trying to do.” Groban’s character, demeanor and worldview – not just his eventual career path – were shaped during those formative days in a household supportive of his artistic endeavors and amidst his arts curriculum at. And as music and arts continue to disappear from American classrooms, Groban has made the philanthropic efforts of his the center of everything that he does. “ It’s the most important endeavor that I have in my life right now. And when I look around and I see these programs being cut, and these programs being looked at as unnecessary, that’s the biggest thing that bothers me,” said Groban.

“I think there’s a stigma around arts ed but what is showing is that an arts curriculum – in the same way that having a history curriculum and an English curriculum or whatever it is – actually helps to grow young minds and helps to grow the empathy muscle and the confidence muscle and all those things. Graduation rates go up. Homework gets better. Home life gets better.” During turbulent, often confusing times for kids in America, seeks to make sure any child has “the opportunity to experience a quality arts education.” “ These are life-changing events for these young people. And we need programs that keep them on the right side of the fence.
Because they’re the future,” said Groban. “The arts are one of the few languages that we have in the world that is universal in its connectivity and in its message.
