Radin began his artistic pursuits at an early age with art, acting and music, growing up in Cleveland, Ohio. Radin graduated from Northwestern University in drawing and painting. Radin's first recording was a demo of the song Winter produced by songwriter Cary Brothers. When a close friend, actor/filmmaker Zach Braff, heard the demo of "Winter", he was immediately interested and featured the song on his show Scrubs in the episode "My Screw Up" early 2004. The song received an overwhelmingly positive response and gave Radin substantial exposure with the show's demographic. The songs "Today," "Closer," "Don't Look Away," and "These Photographs" were also used on the show. Braff also played the triangle in Radin's song "Today."
Since then, Radin's songs have been featured on Scrubs, Brothers and Sisters, Grey's Anatomy, American Idol, One Tree Hill and Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. His song "Star Mile" was on The Last Kiss movie soundtrack, as well as "What If You", which was featured on soundtrack of the movie Catch and Release.

He has toured with Tori Amos, Sheryl Crow, Ingrid Michaelson, Sara Bareilles, KT Tunstall, Cary Brothers, Imogen Heap, Butch Walker, and Meiko.
Having captured the public's attention, Radin set about keeping it, as he released his debut album We Were Here in June 2006, through Columbia Records, the album was previously available exclusively on iTunes, where it became the #1 bestselling folk album.

Along with her wife Portia, Ellen would later ask Joshua Radin to perform "Today" at the couples wedding.
