Michael I. Haber to Release Debut Single 'Face The Music' This Month

Michael I. Haber - a rising stage & screen performer - will release his debut single "Face the Music" on digital, streaming, and downloading platforms on Friday, June 7th, 2024. Originally written for his BroadwayWorld Cabaret Award nominated debut solo cabaret act of the same name, the song was co-written by Haber alongside Award winning songwriters Selda Sahin & Derek Gregor. 

"Face the Music" is an up-tempo moving anthem inspired by Haber's journey of facing obstacles & going against all odds, despite what other people think. "Everyone can relate to the lyrics of the song". Haber explained". "We live in a world with people turning us down but there's that special light inside of you saying You Can Do It! It's a very strong positive song of believing in yourself no matter what others may say or think."

Selda Sahin & Derek Gregor both worked with Haber in the early stages of several new musical theater projects they're in the works for. The songwriting duo attended the premiere run of Haber's "Face the Music" show which played to a last-minute sold-out crowd at The Duplex in April 2022. Inspired by his story & drive even more, the duo requesting if they could write a song for him. At the same time, Haber began to expand on his own songwriting becoming the ultimate collaboration. Haber premiered the new original song the follow-up run of his show at The Laurie Beechman Theatre (in November 2022). He also performed it during his most prior engagements of the show at Rockwood Music Hall (May 2023) & at The Green Room 42 (this past January 2024). The song was met with wonderful audience praise earning a 2023 BroadwayWorld Cabaret Award nomination for Best Original Song.
