成名经历: Joshua Radin 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。他后来来到了纽约，开始自学吉他。在2004年，他很偶然地写了一首名叫Winter的歌，Radin的好友，演员兼导演Zach Braff听到他创作的《Winter》的样本时，立刻被吸引住了，并把这首歌曲用在了喜剧《Scrubs》中的一集《My Screw Up》里。这支歌曲反响很好，观众非常喜欢，纷纷要求听到他更多的作品。而Radin也随着这部喜剧而崭露头角，他的其他的几首歌《Today》《Closer》《Don't Look Away》和《These Photographs》也在剧中引用。而Joshua Radin也因之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 》。 从那以后，Radin的歌曲在很多节目中都被引用。像是《Scrubs》《Brothers and Sisters》《Grey's Anatomy》《American Idol》《One Tree Hill》《Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip》中，都有他的歌曲。他的歌曲《Star Mile》收录在了《The Last Kiss》的电影原声碟中，《What If You》收在了《Catch and Release》的电影原声碟中，还有《someone else's life》和《When you find me》被收录在了09年最新电影《Adam》中, Joshua Radin Radin的创作风格属极简的吟唱民谣(acoustic folk/pop)：温暖真诚的歌词加上少量的乐器修衬（吉他、中提琴等弦乐器为主）；主题总是不离爱情左右，嗓音轻柔深沉，音质清透，带有Simon & Garfunkel、Elliott Smith、Damien Rice 和 Iron & Wine的影响。没有浮夸的曲式安排，没有蹩脚的求新，只是一遍一遍拨弄着吉他的和弦，歌由心生，娓娓道来。
温柔到融化整个身体,轻轻编织的细语美梦,Joshua Radin就是这样能让你一遍又一遍的听下去,心境越近平和.典型的美式民谣弹唱,轻柔不费力气,略显沙哑的嗓音有着穿透心底的动情魔力,简单的旋律编排,不夸张不另类,不高亢不低沉,零星点点的动人!单薄的音色吟唱着满满的情意,惬意无边,温暖始终,谁也不愿打扰这个民谣工匠低吟浅唱!
Though he had always enjoyed singing during his childhood in Cleveland, OH, Joshua Radin had never intended to be a musician. He studied drawing and painting in college, and only after stints working in a gallery, as an art teacher, and as a screenwriter did he decide to give songwriting a try. He played a piece he wrote, "Winter," for friend Zach Braff, who liked it so much he got the song onto Scrubs, the television show he was on. After fans began to request more of his music, Radin decided to seriously pursue it as a career, and soon he signed to Columbia Records, which released his debut album, We Were Here, in 2006.
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.
