Josh Groban reacts to his many cameos

Our guest today has been performing for massive crowds since he was a teenager, when he was discovered by producer and composer David Foster. He’s sold millions of records, sung on stage at the Oscars, performed at countless benefits and in front of world leaders…

You might expect a person with a voice and career like his to be quite serious. And he IS serious about music – but as you’ll hear in this conversation – Josh Groban is, also somehow, just a normal, funny, friendly dude.

In conversation with @rahrahraina, Groban talks about what it was like to be a young man thrust into the spotlight, and how he didn’t always feel like his public image aligned with who he really was.

Plus, we get into his new album, Cinematic. It’s a collection of famous songs from movies, and Josh explains how he chose them, and the pressure he felt to do them justice.
