There are very few vocalists that can be unanimously described as having the voice of an angel, but Josh Groban is one of them. The multi-platinum-selling singer is known for his unforgettable ballads that resonate with generations of all ages. Still, it’s his heart of gold and incredible sense of humour that makes him such a beloved artist. Throughout his world-class career, his close friend and his band’s piano player, Mark, has been there with him through it all.

“It goes without saying that Mark is an extraordinary piano player, but, off the stage, he’s just such a great guy,” said Groban. “He’s humble. He goes out of his way to make sure everyone around him is taken care of and never asks for much.”
Premiering July 26, this incredible makeover is without a doubt the ultimate dream home studio for any musician. To show Mark how much he appreciates their 20-year long friendship, Groban taps on the expertise of the Scott brothers to help transform his longtime friend’s outdated garage and neglected backyard. As the ultimate labour of love, Groban assists Drew and Jonathan in creating a flexible, state-of-the-art studio where Mark has all the tools he needs to produce incredible music from the comfort of his home.

As the ultimate outdoor oasis for both Mark and his family, the calming and beautiful backyard is updated with a much-needed hot tub facelift, a gorgeous new deck, and an outdoor kitchen and dining space perfect for making memories with his wife and kids.
