Songwriting is a very personal process for Joshua Radin; his songs capture the listener and keep them entranced from beginning to end. He's been compared to other acts such as Nick Drake, Simon & Garfunkel, Elliot Smith. Each moment can become a snapshot in time generated by a specific creative spark for this upcoming artist -- whose hit song "Winter" was recently featured on the NBC television sit-com "Scrubs". Joshua began his artistic pursuits at an early age with art, acting and music. He started on his musical path with songwriters like Lennon and McCartney, and is currently likened to writers like Elliot Smith and Bob Dylan. His worldwide exposure garnered interest from thousands of fans who downloaded "Winter" and purchased his CD entitled: "First Between 3rd & 4th". Based out of L.A., Josh's music treads the thin line between sappy and sincere exquisitely. His arrangements put an emphasis almost entirely on the acoustic guitar, with occassional string appearances, and female vocal harmonies (courtesy of Priscilla Ahn). His influences include all of the requisite forbears of the genre, and occasionally these influences appear in the music in a very tangible way.

Joshua Radin的歌曲温馨耐听，让人有一种自始至终听下去的心灵快感，在Joshua Radin的少年时代，似乎从没有意识到自己将来会从事音乐创作，尽管他自幼就喜欢唱歌。他很偶然地写了一首名叫Winter的歌，他的一个为电视剧做配乐的朋友很喜欢，并用在一部剧集里，结果观众也非常喜欢，纷纷要求听到他更多的作品，他这才发现音乐才是他的事业，很快他就签约到Columbia唱片公司，并出版了第一张EP唱片First Between 3rd And 4th，Girlfriend In A Coma就收录在其中。他希望走出Lennon and McCartney那样的路子,能写出Elliot Smith 和Bob Dylan那样的歌曲。2006年他的第一张专辑We Were Here终于问世，11首歌都是清淡而温馨，与世无争的民谣作品。这是2008年的一张EP。

Singer/songwriter Joshua Radin will release his sixth full-length album Onward and Sideways on February 10 via Glass Bead Music. The album, described as an "emotional" journey is said to "chronicle a real-time journey from adoration to true love" and was written primarily in a hotel room near his girlfriend's home in Stockholm, Sweden. From the Press Release: Known for his precise, gentle vocals and penchant for vivid songwriting, the 13-track LP's dynamic production shines from the first track, with subdued beating of toms providing the foundation for his blues-tinged opener "We'll Keep Running Forever," leading into the country guitars and hand-claps of "Belong" and "Angels". Radin's passionate vocals, and guitar strumming create a vibe intimate and robust, with strings and pianos tastefully layered from track to track, and his songwriting reaching its poetic apex on the closing track "My Baby." The harmonic lead single "Beautiful Day" features piano accents, subtle jazz brushes, and a standout supporting vocal performance from Radin's former touring mate Sheryl Crow. Radin will take his collection of love songs on his 20+ date tour starting on February 5, 2015, where he'll partner with his favorite charity Little Kids Rock, a national non-profit committed to revitalizing music education in under-served public schools across the country. Radin will invite kids onstage with him to join in playing "Beautiful Day" in select cities, as well as sell handmade bracelets with his most inspiring lyrics, with a portion of the proceeds going directly to the charity.
