In a music genre dominated by quartet-style music and family harmony, it can be difficult to establish a musical presence as a soloist. However, nearly a decade ago, Joseph Habedank was called to do just that. Coming from one of Southern Gospel’s most popular family groups, he decided to blend his love for this music with award-winning songwriting and a unique perspective to create a style all his own. And with the recent radio success of his new single, “Child Of The King,” Joseph Habedank has released the most #1 songs on the Singing News chart as a soloist.
From his fourth solo release on Daywind Records, Change Is Coming, this latest song topped the Singing News charts for the month of December. Habedank, an accomplished writer, co-wrote “Child Of The King” with songwriting legends Dave Clark and Don Koch. The song not only marks the ninth No. 1 song that Habedank has celebrated as a writer, but also credits Dave Clark and Don Koch with the distinction of having written a No. 1 song in five different decades.
Joseph Habedank’s previous releases that have topped the Singing News charts include the lead single from the Dove Award-winning project, Change Is Coming, titled “Religion Isn’t Working,” as well as “Goliath” and “Shame On Me.” In addition to four No. 1 songs, radio has honored Habedank with several Top 10 and Top 5 singles.
“Radio has so many choices when it comes to what music to program each day,” Habedank shares. “Southern Gospel has been blessed with some of the greatest talent, with the most important message to proclaim, and I’m honored that radio supports my music. I have had the privilege of creating music and writing with the best songwriters in the field. I can’t wait to see what God has in store for us as we move forward!
