As Joshua Radin describes how his music career began, an image comes to mind of a horse, galloping so fast, itâs almost a blur. Its rider, meanwhile, hangs on for dear life, not sure how he wound up there, but sure as hell not about to let go. At some point, though, he figures out how the reins work, and the horse steps into a smooth canter. The album-opening title track of Here, Right Now, Radinâs eighth release and NettwerkMusic Group debut, is all about embracing the moment. But when that horse took off 15 years ago, Radin didnât even know what the moment was, much less how to balance himself while trying to find his stride. Heâd been trying to gain traction as a screenwriter in New York, but when his attempts fizzled, the frustrated Cleveland native started playing guitar to vent. Eventually, he penned a song, and played it for his friend Zach Braff, star of TVâs Scrubs. Braff suggested Radin send a demo to the showâs producer. Almost overnight, millions of viewers reached for Kleenexes as Radinâs âWinterâ aired over an emotional scene. They crashed NBCâs website trying to track down the singer. Thatâs when the lightning-bolt notion of a songwriting career first flashed, prompting him to join his friend Cary Brothers in L.A. Each time Radin debuted a new heartbreak tune at their Hotel CafĂ© haunt, some music supervisor would snag it for Greyâs Anatomy, One Tree Hill, House, or another show. When Radin posted his first batchof homemade demos on iTunes, the collection of folk-pop gems soared to No. 1.After Columbia won the label battle, Radin, unaware demos differed from finished product, insisted they issue his 2006 debut, We Were Here, unretouched or not at all. Then the guy whoâd barely plucked a chord till he was 30 faced another reality: He actually had to become a performer. Screaming âwhoa!â wasnât an option, so he hung on. âIt took a good couple of years of playing in different cities every night before I got my stage legs,â Radin says. âNow I'm as comfortable onstage as I am walking around the city.â Heâs shared some of those stages with Ed Sheeran, Sara Bareilles, Ingrid Michaelson, Sheryl Crow, Tori Amos, Imogen Heap and Irish band the Script. Heâs played to sold-out audiences in theatres across the globe, from North America to the UK and Europe to China and Australia. Heâs sold three-quarters of a million albums and two million singles, racked up 350+ Million Spotify streams and over 500+ Million plays on Pandora, and scored a Gold record in the US and No. 2 UK hit with âIâd Rather Be With You.â One of the most licensed artists ever, Radinâs music has played in over 150 TV shows, commercials and films, including his song âBrand New Dayâ being selected by Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden as the soundtrack to a commercial made for the troops. Heâs appeared multiple times on various chat-shows (Ellen, The Tonight Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live, Conan, Today Show) and even performed at mega-fan Ellen DeGeneresâ nuptials with Portia De Rossi at Ellenâs request.
A long time supporter of Little Kids Rock, his charitable interests expanded into animal rescue and pet adoption thanks to his friendship with animal rescue advocate Beth Stern, and her husband, Howard. Radin fondly recalls playing at Sternâs benefit showin the Hamptons last summer for North Shore Animal League America (NSALA), the worldâs largest No Kill rescue and adoption organization. âWe just had the best time and it got me even more involved in the cause,â he says. Rescue, it turns out, is a subject that weaves its way through Here, Right Now, starting with the rescue-advocating video for the title track, created with footage and facts from NSALA. Radin announced via social media that he would be donating all proceeds from the streams/sales of this track and video, along with proceeds from the sales of special âHere, Right Nowâ bracelets, to NSALA. The track itself was written in the wake of a breakup, the sweet duet (with Maria Taylor) is a self-reminder to work on staying present, he says. Though Radinâs silvery, intimate tenor is perfectly calibrated for expressing the ache of love-damaged hearts, just one track, âOnly a Wave (Better Days)â directly addresses his latest split âwhich he attributes to a failed rescue attempt. Itâs one of three songs featuring vocals by producer Tony Bergâs daughter, Z. âThat was the first time in my life I'd ever tried to fix a broken human,â says Radin. âI'll never do that again.â Radin and Berg sing like whispering lovers amid breath-like rhythms dotted by skittering, oddly soothing synths. âWhat Would You Do (Refugee Song),â the albumâs third single, tackles heartbreak caused by a broken sy
