Joshua Radin

Musician Spotlight: Joshua Radin is a folk recording artist, songwriter and actor originally from Ohio, who turned to music when he moved to New York City (after stints as an art teacher, screenwriter and art gallery employee). He bought a guitar and taught himself to play and write music. In 2004, a friend gave a demo of Radin’s first composition “Winter” to actor Zach Braff, who promptly used the song in his series Scrubs. His songs were then featured in shows such as Grey’s Anatomy, Brothers and Sisters, American Idol and One Tree Hill (among many others). And, his music was heard in movies like The Nanny Diaries, Catch and Release, Adam, The Last Kiss, Post Grad and Dear John. He has released three albums: “We Were Here” in 2006; “Simple Times” in 2008 and “The Rock and the Tide” this year. You can learn more about Joshua Radin here.
