Son of Jean-Henri Naderman (1734-1799) and Barbe-Rose Courtois (1755-1839), he was born into a family of musicians. His father was an instrument maker and publisher and his brother Henri Naderman (1783-1842) was an harp maker, composer and publisher. He probably received early music lessons from his father despite it was wrongly suggested that he studied with Jean-Baptiste Krumpholtz. He later received composition lessons from Pierre Louis Augustin Desvignes. After touring widely as an harp virtuoso, in 1813 he was appointed harpist of the Royal Chapel in Paris. After the Restoration (1815) he, his brother and mother were named harp makers and music sellers to the King, and François-Joseph himself was appointed the King’s chamber composer and first solo harpist. He was made a Chevalier of the Légion d’Honneur in 1821, and finally, in 1825, he was appointed to the Paris Conservatoire as its first professor of harp. As a composer, his output included many works for harp, among them 2 concertos, sonatas, and solo pieces. He also published the didactic method 'Ecole ou Methode raisonnee pour la harpe' (Paris, ).
