Joshua Kadison

American Singer-Songwriter and Pianist

Joshua Kadison is an American singer-songwriter and pianist known for his emotive piano-based rock ballads. He emerged in the music scene with his debut album "Painted Desert Serenade" in 1993, which became a commercial success. The album featured hit singles such as "Jessie" and "Beautiful in My Eyes," both of which gained substantial radio play and helped establish Kadison's presence in the early 1990s music landscape. His style is often compared to that of Elton John and Billy Joel, owing to his storytelling lyrics and piano-driven melodies.

Despite this, he has maintained a loyal fan base and continues to perform and release music.
