From Cleveland via New York & LA, Joshua Radin is the uniquely word-of-mouth global success story that’s just about to get a whole lot bigger with the release of his second album The Rock & The Tide.
Radin only turned to music after college – a friend gave a demo to a TV producer – who promptly used it in Scrubs in early 2004. Other Hollywood types found his music just as evocative, and soon various Radin songs were being heard 75 times on TV shows (Grey’s Anatomy, Brothers & Sisters, American Idol) as well as movies (The Nanny Diaries, The Last Kiss) and ads. US superstar presenter Ellen Degeneres was so impressed by his music, that she requested he play at her wedding to the actress Portia Di Rossi.
His debut album Simple Times drew critical & popular acclaim, collaborating with producer Rob Schnapf (Beck, Elliot Smith). His first single I’d Rather Be With You, received over 10,000 UK radio plays for his breakthrough hit ‘I’d Rather Be With You’ & reached #2 on the airplay chart, Joshua Radin has been building his fast growing popularity with a selection of major summer festival shows including Glastonbury, T in the Park, Hard Rock Calling and Latitude.
