Christian artist Joseph Habedank is no stranger to writing songs about real life. However, for the first time, Joseph is diving deep into his storytelling tendencies for an album that is, quite possibly, his most personal undertaking yet. Aptly titled autobiography, Habedank’s fifth studio effort effectively sets his own story to music.
Habedank has been weaving his life into melodies since his acclaimed solo debut, Welcome Home, released in 2014. He’s gone on to garner two GRAMMY® nominations and four GMA Dove Awards, but it’s his signature honesty that’s captured the attention of listeners for the past two decades of his professional tenure.
Joseph Habedank remains an open book on autobiography. Lyrically, the record’s 12 tracks are transparent chapters in Habedank’s story. Sonically, they lean into CCM pop territory, while staying true to his roots. Produced by Nick Schwarz (CAIN), Bernie Herms (Natalie Grant, Josh Groban) and David Leonard (Matthew West, MercyMe), autobiography guides listeners on a chronological journey though Habedank’s childhood all the way to his present-day testimony of sobriety.
Joseph states, “What I’ve always found is that when I write something about my life — whether it’s a song about losing my grandmother or it’s a song about my addiction — it somehow resonates with people. I guess it’s because everybody has a grandma and everybody’s got somebody in their life who struggles with addiction. When people listen to this record, somehow I want my life to intersect with their lives.”
