Joshua Radin's musical career began in the purest way possible.
Radin was living in New York and trying to make his way as a painter and screenwriter when the opportunity for an open mic night came up. The delicate and heartbreaking song "Winter" was a hit with the audience that night. With some friends' encouragement, it led to Radin following a career as a musician, releasing two independent albums, and garnering comparisons to classic singer-songwriters such as Nick Drake and Simon & Garfunkel. His success eventually landed Radin deal with Columbia Records, who have recently re-released his second lp, We Were Here.
