Joshua Radin (born 14 June 1974) is an American folk (Folk music) recording artist (singer), songwriter and actor born and raised in Shaker Heights, Ohio. Radin, raised on the sounds of 1960s Motown, Stax and Beatles records, as well as singer-songwriters of the early 70s such as Paul Simon, Cat Stevens and James Taylor, turned to music after college, when he moved to New York City, bought a guitar and taught himself to play and write music. On a "Meet & Greet" after his concert in Cologne on 11 October 2009, Radin stated that his biggest musical inspiration is Bob Dylan.

In 2004, Radins friend Cary Brothers gave a demo featuring his very first composition, "Winter", to TV star Zach Braff, who promptly used it to score a scene in the hit television series Scrubs (Scrubs (TV series)). Other Hollywood types found his music just as evocative, and soon various Radin songs were being heard in TV shows such as Greys Anatomy, Brothers and Sisters, American Idol, One Tree Hill (One Tree Hill (TV series)), and So You Think You Can Dance, among others, as well as movies including The Nanny Diaries, The Last Kiss, Catch and Release.

Radins debut album, 2006s We Were Here drew critical acclaim and passionate listener response. His favorite song is "You Got Growin Up To Do". Radin has also had a number of well known musicians on his studio recordings, including Ryan Adams who played guitar on the song "Lovely Tonight".
