Interview With Damita
August 27, 2008
Q and A with Damita Haddon | (Questions by Lin. Woods. Answers from Damita Haddon)
By Lin. Woods
Damita Haddon has been on the gospel recording scene for over a decade. Although many know her from her Stellar Award winning work with the Voices of Unity and from singing with her husband, Deitrick Haddon, she is a force to be reckoned with and highly respected in gospel. I recently talked with her about her latest CD, No Looking Back (Tyscot). This is what she shared.
Lin: Your parents were both in ministry. Were they strict on you?
Damita: My parents were both preachers and pastors. Gospel was all I remember hearing in the house, from James Cleveland and Shirley Caesar to the O’Neal Twins. We were a musical family; and it was just church and music. I remember running around the house picking up records, brushes and combs and singing into them when my mom would play a record.
Lin: Who did you listen to that has influenced your musical style?
Damita: The Clark Sisters, Rance Allen, Michael Jackson, Aretha Franklin, Tina Turner, Sting, Celine Dion, Cold Play and The Winans.
Lin: How did you meet your husband Deitrick and end up singing with the Voices of Unity Choir, which earned you a Stellar Award in 2006?
Damita: We were introduced to each other by a mutual friend in high school. During my senior year in high school I started going over to his church. We started singing together in the choir and traveling together. We’ve been married for twelve years now.
Lin: When did you get your professional break as an artist?
Damita: In the 1990s my twin sister Margarita and I formed Adoration and Praise; an all girl a cappella group. We were invited to sing at the president of TM Records’ birthday party. We didn’t even know this guy had a record label. Immediately after we sang, he asked us if we were interested in signing a deal and recording on his label. And within a couple of months we were in the studio. Our first release was Time Is Running Out.

Cross Movement Records Releases Joyful Noise Music Video
August 24, 2008
(ATLANTA) — The Christian Rap music video for the song that marries Christian Rap and Christian Rock is now available. St Louis’ Cross Movement Records artist FLAME collaborated with Reach Records artist Lecrae and Philadelphia based, Christian Rock artist John Reilly (the Reilly Band) to produce the hit single ‘Joyful Noise’ from FLAME’s Billboard chart-topping album OUR WORLD REDEEMED.
Debuting #4 on Billboard’s Top Gospel Chart and #1 on CMTA’s R&B/Hip Hop Charts, OUR WORLD REDEEMED, released on March 4, 2008. After much success of the album and great raves and reviews from critics and even a push from FLAME’s supporters about the perfectly placed outro of the song on the album, FLAME teamed up with Tripp Crosby (’Jesus Muzik’ and ‘Who Am I?’) to produce FLAME’s second music video.
