Despite overcoming a serious back injury this summer, FRANK'S creative output soared, with multiple viral tracks released throughout the year including “GOD’S GOT MY BACK,” “LEMONADE” (with THE FIGS), “SELAH,” “THE ROCK” (with CROWDER), and “MISUNDERSTOOD” (with CORY ASBURY). These, plus 21 more songs, appeared on September’s CHILD OF GOD II (BACK TO BACK), and were followed by “JESUS IS COMING BACK SOON” with Josiah Queen.

In late 2025, Frank also earned multiple GMA Dove Awards — including Artist of the Year — and received two Grammy nominations for Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song (“YOUR WAY'S BETTER”) and Best Contemporary Christian Music Album (CHILD OF GOD II).

At radio, FRANK continues to make an undeniable impact. His breakout single “YOUR WAY'S BETTER” climbed to #3 on both Billboard’s Christian AC and Christian Airplay charts, as well as Mediabase’s Christian AC and Christian Impressions charts—spending an impressive 37 weeks on the Christian radio charts. Before the holiday format transition, his follow-up single “Lemonade” featuring The Figs gained traction with 31 early station adds and reached #31 on Mediabase Christian AC.

R.J. HALBERT’S SERVANT HAS ARRIVED, IMMEDIATELY HITS NO. 1

R.J. HALBERT’S SERVANT HAS ARRIVED, IMMEDIATELY HITS NO. 1

TOUTED AS "A PAGE TURNER WITH REAL LITERARY DEPTH," AND A "RIVETING ATMOSPHERE," SERVANT FOLLOWS BEST-SELLING, AWARD-WINNING DEBUT CARETAKER 

Media appearances include "The Kelly Clarkson Show", "Chicago Today", "CBN," "Today In Nashville" and more

Nashville, TN – November 19, 2025 - SERVANT, R.J. Halbert's highly-anticipated follow-up to their nine-time award-winning, No.1 best-selling debut novel CARETAKER, has officially arrived and immediately hit No. 1 on Amazon's Metaphysical books best-seller list. "The Kelly Clarkson Show" welcomed Clarkson’s music director, Jason and his wife Rhonda (aka R.J. Halbert) on the show today, while other media hits include "Chicago Today," "CBN News," GOD101 with Julie Chen Moonves, Patheos, "Today In Nashville," Yahoo! and more.  

Along with an audiobook narrated by actor Henry Ian Cusick (Lost), SERVANT is the second book from The Goodpasture Chronicles, a supernatural fantasy trilogy that blends mystery, suspense, endurance, and triumph into an epic adventure. This second novel continues the immersive and unforgettable journey into the world of CARETAKER.

BookLife praised SERVANT'S  "Riveting atmosphere… creeping symbols, blurred visions, and the dread of a family being hollowed out by forces they can’t explain," calling it a "moody, unsettling thriller that thrives on family tension" and "blends domestic suspense with supernatural undertones as a family’s unfolding grief collides with an ancient curse.”  Kirkus Reviews said it is "a page turner with real literary depth.”

Together, Rhonda and Jason Halbert (a.k.a. R.J. Halbert) have woven their 32+ years of life together into a riveting story, based somewhat on truth and experience. In January 2024, just prior to the couple's first appearance on The Kelly Clarkson show in support of CARETAKER, Jason was diagnosed with a rare cancer - something he is only now making public. The journey deeply influenced how they approached SERVANT and thus were forced to live out some of the very themes they had written into the story as lines between characters and creator began to blur. 

“After having lived through so much trauma in our lives the previous few years, this diagnosis was so unexpected and quite a blow," says Jason. "The irony is that while CARETAKER was written after coping with that trauma, all of a sudden I had the chance to live out some of the supernatural themes we explored through the characters - it was like therapy back to myself and helped me process the unexpected news while writing SERVANT."

As they did with the audiobook for CARETAKER, which featured an all-star lineup of actors and celebrities, including Cusick as the Narrator, Erick Avari, Kelly Clarkson, Amy Grant, and more - the Halberts were able to incorporate music into SERVANT.  While it is rare to be able to include song lyrics in a novel, they were able to obtain publishing rights for several iconic songs, including "These Dreams,"  "Take Me Home,"  "All By Myself," which Jason also performed on the show today. 

Picking up just minutes after CARETAKER ends, SERVANT plunges even deeper into the Goodpasture legacy-where dark secrets, chilling curses, and unbreakable hope collide. With even more suspense, emotion, and haunting twists, readers will finally learn the truth of the mysterious world teased in the prologue and epilogue of CARETAKER.

SERVANT Synopsis:

A child vanishes. A family unravels. Ancient powers stir. 

When Zach disappears overnight, his family begins to fracture under the weight of grief and unthinkable possibilities. Ian Keane, Professor of Ancient History, becomes obsessed with cryptic symbols appearing around their New England property as his wife Lyana experiences visions that blur the lines between madness and revelation. Caught between her disintegrating family and her own supernatural awakening, daughter Ariel grows increasingly suspicious of Marshall, the enigmatic caretaker who seems to know more than he’s willing to reveal about their property’s dark history. As the Keanes grapple with how far they must go to recover their son, they discover that some homes demand more than just caretakers—this home demands a servant.

About the Authors:

R.J. Halbert is a nine-time award-winning and best-selling husband and wife team who have collaborated as authors of The Goodpasture Chronicles, a supernatural fantasy trilogy that blends mystery, suspense, endurance, and triumph into an epic adventure.

Jason Halbert, one-half of R.J. Halbert, is an Emmy and Grammy Award winning producer and songwriter. His songs have reached millions of listeners worldwide through multiple #1 and Platinum selling albums. In addition to his 20+ year career as Music Director and Producer for Kelly Clarkson, he has left his creative mark on numerous works in film and television, and as well as a copious amount  of recording artists over the years. When not creating music, he loves bee-keeping, Sci-Fi, and is known to be quite a storyteller.

After homeschooling their two children around the world on a tour bus, Rhonda Halbert, the second half of R.J. Halbert, has spent the past 10 years as a successful music and television manager,  guiding her clients’ relationships with labels, networks, and producers. She is also a published photographer, music supervisor, passionate cook, garden enthusiast, and spiritual practitioner.  

Together, Jason and Rhonda have woven their 32+ years of life together into a riveting story, based somewhat on truth and experience, but even more so, brimming with imagination.

CARETAKER has already received widespread acclaim, earning prestigious honors including most recently “receiving the silver medal" for the Independent Book Publishers Association's coveted Bill Fisher Award.  Previously the book garnered the Global Book Award, Amazon Best Seller status, and recognition from the International Book Awards, Literary Global Book Awards, Next Best Read, and more. R.J. Halbert also been featured on popular platforms including The Kelly Clarkson Show, Chicago Today, USA Today, Parade, Yahoo!, Coast to Coast AM, KTLA, California Live and more.

BENJAMIN WILLIAM HASTINGS RELEASES NEW SINGLE “THE MAN I COULD BE”

BENJAMIN WILLIAM HASTINGS RELEASES 
NEW SINGLE “THE MAN I COULD BE”

Irish-Born Singer/Songwriter Pens Personal New Song on His Birthday as an Encouragement to Himself and Every Man ‘Tryna Be Better’ 

Download Hi-Res Single Cover Art and Press Image Here

Nashville, TN.. Nov.17, 2025 –Acclaimed artist and storyteller Benjamin William Hastings announces the release of a personal and relatable new song titled “The Man I Could Be,” now available on all music platforms. The GRAMMY-nominated songwriter leans into his signature lyrical style as he poetically reveals the tension between contentment and the ambition to be a better version of himself as he begins a new year.

Writing “The Man I Could Be” on his Nov. 15 birthday one year ago, Hastings’ introspective single highlights how priorities often take shape in the hurried pace of life. Produced by Ben Tan and Michael Guy Chislett, the acoustic-driven song offers a glimpse into the mind of the millennial man and the hope of simply getting better as a father, friend and even at using a hammer, as shared in the chorus, “Maybe this will be the year I find the man I could be.”

“Why is it always around your birthday that you seem to have these full-on existential moments,” Hastings humorously said. “This time last year, my moment was surrounding my cup of coffee. I wrote this song not only for me, but for every man out there tryna be better. Who knew coffee from a pod would inspire my new song, “The Man I Could Be”, available now wherever you listen to music!”

Currently, Hastings is performing in multiple sold-out cities across the country on his headlining At The Heart Of It Tour! Live with special guest Jamie MacDonald. The show features an intimate night of worship focused on getting back to the heart of God. Also this month, Hastings received his first GRAMMY nomination for his songwriting contributions on the platinum-selling, No.1 song “Hard Fought Hallelujah,” performed by Brandon Lake and Jelly Roll, in the Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song category. 

About Benjamin William Hastings:
Benjamin William Hastings is a Northern Irish, GRAMMY-nominated singer-songwriter whose journey began in Belfast and flourished in Sydney, Australia, where he became connected with Hillsong UNITED. As a key collaborator, Hastings co-wrote impactful songs, including the globally acclaimed, Platinum-certified “So Will I (100 Billion X),” a top 5 hit on Christian Radio. Hastings has written songs for artists like Brandon Lake, Cory Asbury and Rend Collective, and has garnered over 1.3 billion streams globally. Now based in Nashville, TN, Hastings is a top performing artist on AIR1 with hits like "Feels Like A Blessing," "That's the Thing About Praise," and "Know You Will." His 2023 single, “That’s the Thing About Praise” reached No.11 on Christian Airplay. Alongside his wife, Jessa Hastings, author of the Magnolia Parks series, he balances creativity and family life with their two children. Hastings’ latest album Sold Out, Sincerely is a divine record that reflects his faith and life journey, offering songs that inspire deeper connection with God.

The group adds its signature Celtic production to classics “Carol Of The Bells” and “Feliz Navidad,” and worshipful radio singles, “Mary Did You Know” and “A Christmas Hymn (to the tune of “Come Thou Fount”). The merry album experience wraps with the instrumental “A Spontaneous Outburst of Joy,” showcasing the group’s spirited, communal modern worship sound.

With over 1 billion career streams, the band’s most recent albums have hit the highest non-Christian charting that any worship album has ever achieved in the U.K. In 2018, Rend Collective sold out their hometown show at the SSE Arena in Belfast making it the largest attended Christian concert in the country. With good reason too, Rend Collective continually draws in fans across the world with their electric performances and a good dose of Northern Irish charm. From playing sold out gigs in Canada, mainland Europe, Scandinavia, Brazil, Hong Kong and the U.S., alongside “Boldly I Approach” becoming the most popular hymn in the German church, the band is undeniably a global force. Earlier this year, the band released its FOLK! album and is currently headlining the FOLK! tour in support. Despite all this, Rend Collective seems to be doing it differently than most other artists before them, living and working—singing and sharing the laundry duties—as a tight-knit family, even touring with their young children most of the time. The word “Collective” is not just in their name, but in their foundations forming the heart and strength of their ministry.

BELOVED NASHVILLE SONGWRITER DAVE BARNES SIGNS EXCLUSIVE PUBLISHING CONTRACT WITH CAPITOL CMG 

Nashville, TN... Oct. 30, 2025 - Capitol Christian Music Group (CCMG) today announces the signing of one of Nashville's most respected and celebrated singer/songwriters Dave Barnes to an exclusive deal with its CCMG publishing division. As a fan-favorite artist and songwriter, Barnes boasts a career spanning more than 20 years with platinum-selling singles and popular solo albums. He has also penned hits for artists like Blake Shelton, Thomas Rhett and Dan + Shay, with success across multiple genres including country, Christian, pop and more.

“I’m thrilled to be writing with Capitol!" Barnes declares. He explains, "Katie and the team have been such a joy to get to know, and I really admire the way they approach publishing. They cast a wide net with the kinds of songs they pitch and encourage me to write. Knowing that Capitol is beginning to push into the country market, as well as other genres, is especially exciting to me as I love writing so many different types of music. It couldn’t be a better time to step into this new season with a team that’s already shown so much support and enthusiasm."

The GRAMMY-nominated songwriter has remarkable accolades with over 100 of his songs recorded by other artists such as Florida Georgia Line, Tim McGraw, Reba McEntire, Dan + Shay, Carrie Underwood, NEEDTOBREATHE, Billy Currington, and countless more. To date, Barnes has landed two No.1 songs at country radio with "God Gave Me You" (Blake Shelton) and “Craving You” (Thomas Rhett and Maren Morris), plus a No. 2 song with “You” (Dan + Shay) and a No.13 hit with “Like a Lady” (Lady A).  He also had a No.1 chart-topper at Christian radio with Bethany Dillon’s "All I Need" in 2004. His past collaborations include artists Lindsey Stirling, Ingrid Michaelson and Ben Rector.  
 
Katie Barolak, Capitol CMG Publishing Senior Director of Creative, shares, "I am incredibly excited to partner with Dave! I’ve been a fan of his lyrical and melodic sensibilities for years, and to be able to walk alongside him in this next chapter is a dream come true. He’s a musical force to be reckoned with, carries a remarkable work ethic, and is one of the best people in the business. It’s an honor to welcome him to the Capitol CMG Publishing family!"

About Dave Barnes
Although born in South Carolina, singer/songwriter Dave Barnes spent most of his childhood in Mississippi, where he formed an early attachment to hip-hop, but was also exposed to classic soul, blues, and R&B by his parents. He later enrolled at Middle Tennessee State University and began writing songs for other artists. Barnes also played solo shows on campus, and by the time he graduated with a degree in recording industry management, he'd decided to move to Nashville and pursue his own music career.

Barnes' soulful pop songs have won him the support of artists like John Mayer, while the spiritual tone of his lyrics earned support from the Christian music scene. He remained independent for two albums -- 2004's Brother, Bring the Sun and 2006's Chasing Mississippi, both produced by Ed Cash -- before moving to Razor & Tie for 2008's Me and You and the World and 2010's What We Want, What We Get. The latter album became a surprise Christian hit, debuting in the Top Five on the Christian charts thanks in part to the single "God Gave Me You." A year later, Blake Shelton recorded "God Gave Me You" on his Red River Blue album and his version topped the country chart, earning Barnes a GRAMMY nomination in the process. 

Following the 2011 holiday set Very Merry Christmas, Barnes returned with Stories to Tell in 2012, working with producer John Fields in Los Angeles. The singer's second holiday outing, A December to Remember, was released in late 2013, followed a few months later by Golden Days, both of which arrived via Barnes' new label, 50 Year Plan. For his next studio release, 2016's Carry on, San Vicente, Barnes channeled a sunny, '70s-inspired Southern California vibe. A similar laid-back pop approach continued on 2018's Who Knew It Would Be So Hard to Be Myself. He’s since released 2020’s Dreaming In Electric Blue, 2021’s Notes from Paris, and 2022’s Remembering: Greatest Hits Acoustic. Dave's new album, Featherbrained Wealth Motel (his tribute to the Beatles) is overflowing with feel-good vibes and throw-back melodies.

CAPITOL CHRISTIAN MUSIC GROUP SIGNS ROCK CITY WORSHIP

CAPITOL CHRISTIAN MUSIC GROUP SIGNS ROCK CITY WORSHIP

New Single "GRAVESTONE" Out Today

Nashville, TN... Oct. 17, 2025 - Capitol Christian Music Group (CCMG) has announced the signing of modern worship collective Rock City Worship to its vibrant artist roster. The innovative group, consisting of seasoned songwriters, worship leaders and musicians, first began making its expressive, original worship songs in 2020, as the music ministry extension of Rock City Church based in Columbus, Ohio. 

“Rock City Worship brings a fresh worship expression and a compelling mission, says Garrett Davis, Vice President of A&R for Capitol CMG. "We are excited about this new partnership and to reach, inspire and serve people with their music.”

Pastor Chad Fisher of Rock City Church adds, “We couldn’t be more excited to join the Capitol CMG family. Our prayer is that Rock City Worship’s music will reach far beyond our church walls and inspire people everywhere to encounter the power of Jesus.”

Today, the dynamic worship outfit's new single “GRAVESTONE” releases on all music streaming platforms. Blending its passionate modern pop energy with soul-stirring lyrics, "GRAVESTONE” is a raw, resurrection anthem that transforms imagery of death into a declaration of hope and new life. With gritty verses and a triumphant chorus, it captures the heartbeat of Rock City Worship — that God doesn’t just make things better, He brings dead things back to life. 

Nathan Montgomery, the Rock City Church Central Worship Pastor and a group member, explains," 'GRAVESTONE' is the sound of death losing its grip. The same power that raised Jesus from the grave still pulls us out of the things that try to bury us. This isn’t just a story from Scripture; it’s my story, it’s our story, and it’s still happening right now. Like flowers blooming on a gravestone, what once was dead is alive again in Christ.”

FORREST FRANK RELEASES NEW TRACK "JESUS IS COMING BACK SOON" FEATURING JOSIAH QUEEN

FORREST FRANK RELEASES NEW TRACK
"JESUS IS COMING BACK SOON"
FEATURING JOSIAH QUEEN 

NASHVILLE, TN… October 3, 2025 - GRAMMY-nominated, award-winning artist FORREST FRANK has released a brand new track, "JESUS IS COMING BACK SOON" featuring Josiah Queen. Available now with a lyric video, the song follows the recent release of FRANK'S CHILD OF GOD II (BACK TO BACK) DELUXEalbum. 

Upon its release last May, CHILD OF GOD II debuted atop the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart and No. 12 on Billboard's Top 200 Album Chart.  CHILD OF GOD II (BACK TO BACK) DELUXE is a 26-track deluxe project that features all 20 songs from the original COG II album, plus recent viral tracks "THE ROCK" with CROWDER, "LEMONADE" with THE FIGS, "SELAH," "GOD'S GOT MY BACK" and "MISUNDERSTOOD" (with CORY ASBURY).  Combined streams for the four tracks has crossed 40M+ streams and 50K TikTok UGC. Each of the new songs were inspired by a serious skateboarding injury that resulted in multiple back fractures for FRANK, but ultimate quick healing, which he extensively shared with fans on socials. 

FRANK recently logged his second Top 5 single on the Mediabase and Billboard Christian radio charts with “YOUR WAY'S BETTER” peaking at #3 on all four Christian radio charts (Mediabase Christian Audience and Christian AC plus Billboard Christian Airplay and Christian AC) with 96 stations on the song. “LEMONADE,” has already been added to 28 stations already with multiple outlets putting the song straight into heavy rotation! The song is currently #31 on Mediabase Christian AC and #34 at Billboard Christian AC. FRANK'S weekly radio airplay impressions have risen from 7.3M in April ’25 to 13.9M as of this release.

Frank is currently nominated for seven GMA Dove Award nominations, including Artist of the Year and Songwriter of the Year. Tracks "GOOD DAY" and "UP!" were both nominated for Song of the Year, with the CHILD OF GOD album and "YOUR WAY'S BETTER" viral hit also receiving nominations for Pop/Contemporary Album of the Year and Pop/Contemporary Song of the Year, respectively.  Frank also garnered a nod in the Rap/Hip Hop Recorded Song of the Year category for "HEAVEN ON THIS EARTH (feat. Torey D'Shaun)."  

ABOUT FORREST FRANK:

Forrest Frank, award-winning singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist, approaches life and music with gratitude and intent. This mindset underscores his music, and it’s why his GRAMMY-nominated, RIAA GOLD-Certified album CHILD OF GOD was the best-selling Christian album of 2024, and his latest, CHILD OF GOD II, is also a best-seller. Working independently in 2021, Frank broke through with “NO LONGER BOUND” (feat. Hulvey), tallying more than 60 million Spotify streams. In 2023, his debut album CHILD OF GOD soared to stratospheric heights, capturing his first GRAMMY nomination, a Billboard Music Award (BBMA) finalist spot, a #1 on the iTunes Overall Top Albums Chart, Dove Award nomination and tallied over 1 billion global streams. Billboard named him the #1 Top New Christian Artist of 2023. In Fall 2024, he released the CHILD OF GOD (DELUXE) album. The single “GOOD DAY” became a Christian radio hit, was named a BBMA finalist and won a Dove Award for Pop/Contemporary Recorded Song of the Year, with Frank winning for “New Artist of the Year.” The project also included the RIAA Gold-certified track “YOUR WAY’S BETTER,” which experienced explosive viral growth and rose to a BILLBOARD Top 100 hit, driven by the viral dance that took the internet by storm. In May 2025, Frank wrapped his completely sold out “CHILD OF GOD TOUR Part 2,” and released his follow-up album, CHILD OF GOD II, featuring popular songs “NOTHING ELSE (with Thomas Rhett),” “NO L’s” and “AMEN.” This summer, after breaking his back in a freak accident, he released several new viral tracks including “GOD’S GOT MY BACK,” “LEMONADE,” “SELAH” and his latest, “THE ROCK” with Crowder. These four tracks plus 20 more are on the newly released deluxe album, CHILD OF GOD II (BACK TO BACK). As Frank currently finds himself at the center of the music world, he clings to a core message.  “My whole brand was built around God, and I’m not going to change that—ever,” he affirms.

FROM BEST-SELLER TO PERSONAL REVELATION, R.J. HALBERT’S NEW NOVEL SERVANT DROPS NOVEMBER 18

FROM BEST-SELLER TO PERSONAL REVELATION, R.J. HALBERT’S NEW NOVEL SERVANT DROPS NOVEMBER 18 

WITH A "RIVETING ATMOSPHERE," SERVANTFOLLOWS BEST-SELLING, AWARD-WINNING DEBUT FROM THE GOODPASTURE CHRONICLES SERIES, CARETAKER 

For the first time, Jason Halbert reveals cancer diagnosis and how themes in book took shape as lines between real life and characters blurred

Nashville, TN – October 2, 2025 - Novus Press Works is excited to announce the November 18, 2025 release of SERVANT, the highly-anticipated follow-up to nine-time award-winning husband and wife team R.J. Halbert's No.1 Amazon instant best-selling debut novel CARETAKER.  Available for pre-order now at www.rjhalbert.com, along with an audiobook narrated by actor Henry Ian Cusick(Lost), SERVANT promises to continue the immersive and unforgettable journey into the world of CARETAKER. 

BookLife has already praised SERVANT'S  "Riveting atmosphere… creeping symbols, blurred visions, and the dread of a family being hollowed out by forces they can’t explain," calling it a "moody, unsettling thriller that thrives on family tension and "blends domestic suspense with supernatural undertones as a family’s unfolding grief collides with an ancient curse.”

Together, Rhonda and Jason Halbert (a.k.a. R.J. Halbert) have woven their 32+ years of life together into a riveting story, based somewhat on truth and experience. In January 2024, just prior to the couple's first appearance on The Kelly Clarkson show in support of CARETAKER, Jason was diagnosed with a rare cancer - something he is only now making public. The journey deeply influenced how they approached SERVANT and thus were forced to live out some of the very themes they had written into the story as lines between characters and creator began to blur. 

“After having lived through so much trauma in our lives the previous few years, this diagnosis was so unexpected and quite a blow," says Jason. "The irony is that while CARETAKER was written after coping with that trauma, all of a sudden I had the chance to live out some of the supernatural themes we explored through the characters - it was like therapy back to myself and helped me process the unexpected news while writing SERVANT."

As they did with the audio-book for CARETAKER, which featured an all-star lineup of actors and celebrities, including Cusick as the Narrator, Erick Avari, Kelly Clarkson, Amy Grant, and more - the Halberts were able to incorporate music into SERVANT.  While it is rare to be able to include song lyrics in a novel, they were able to obtain publishing rights for several iconic songs, including  "All By Myself," "These Dreams" and "Take Me Home."

Picking up just minutes after CARETAKER ends, SERVANT plunges even deeper into the Goodpasture legacy-where dark secrets, chilling curses, and unbreakable hope collide. With even more suspense, emotion, and haunting twists, readers will finally learn the truth of the mysterious world teased in the prologue and epilogue of CARETAKER.

R.J. Halbert will make their second Comic Con appearance in New York in the Writers Block next week, October 9-12. 

SERVANT Synopsis:

A child vanishes. A family unravels. Ancient powers stir. 

When Zach disappears overnight, his family begins to fracture under the weight of grief and unthinkable possibilities. Ian Keane, Professor of Ancient History, becomes obsessed with cryptic symbols appearing around their New England property as his wife Lyana experiences visions that blur the lines between madness and revelation. Caught between her disintegrating family and her own supernatural awakening, daughter Ariel grows increasingly suspicious of Marshall, the enigmatic caretaker who seems to know more than he’s willing to reveal about their property’s dark history. As the Keanes grapple with how far they must go to recover their son, they discover that some homes demand more than just caretakers—this home demands a servant.

About the Authors:

R.J. Halbert is a nine-time award-winning and best-selling husband and wife team who have collaborated as authors of The Goodpasture Chronicles, a supernatural fantasy trilogy that blends mystery, suspense, endurance, and triumph into an epic adventure.

Jason Halbert, one-half of R.J. Halbert, is an Emmy and Grammy Award winning producer and songwriter. His songs have reached millions of listeners worldwide through multiple #1 and Platinum selling albums. In addition to his 20+ year career as Music Director and Producer for Kelly Clarkson, he has left his creative mark on numerous works in film and television, and as well as a copious amount  of recording artists over the years. When not creating music, he loves bee-keeping, Sci-Fi, and is known to be quite a storyteller.

After homeschooling their two children around the world on a tour bus, Rhonda Halbert, the second half of R.J. Halbert, has spent the past 10 years as a successful music and television manager,  guiding her clients’ relationships with labels, networks, and producers. She is also a published photographer, music supervisor, passionate cook, garden enthusiast, and spiritual practitioner.  

Together, Jason and Rhonda have woven their 32+ years of life together into a riveting story, based somewhat on truth and experience, but even more so, brimming with imagination.

CARETAKER has already received widespread acclaim, earning prestigious honors including most recently “receiving the silver medal" for the Independint Book Publishers Association's coveted Bill Fisher Award.  Previously the book garnered the Global Book Award, Amazon Best Seller status, and recognition from the International Book Awards, Literary Global Book Awards, Next Best Read, and more. R.J. Halbert also been featured on popular platforms including The Kelly Clarkson Show, Chicago Today, USA Today, Parade, Yahoo!, Coast to Coast AM, KTLA, California Live and more.

In addition to new music, Dixon recently made his first foray into the luxury fragrance world.  Desert Rain is now available from Day Three Fragrances and has been called "the fragrance release of the year" and even sold out its first batch, easily being one of company's best-sellers. Additionally, his first children's book, BUILD A BOAT, aptly inspired by his No.1, also RIAA Gold-certified hit single and his twin girls, just competed its third printing. Dixon penned an inspiring tale of two young sisters on a journey of faith believing for their first family dog.

ABOUT COLTON DIXON

Colton Dixon knows what music can do. He’s seen it break down barriers, defy expectations, and unite people in packed arenas worldwide. He’s watched it heal pain, inspire smiles, and lift spirits. So, he treats his chosen artform with the utmost care and respect. In 2013, he made history and notched “the biggest first-week sales by a new solo Christian act” with his full-length debut LP, A Messenger. It paved the way for the fan favorite Anchor [2014] and Identity [2017], marking three straight #1 debuts on the Billboard Top Christian Albums Chart. 2020’s “Miracles” took flight, reacting with audiences. Two years later, he elevated to another stratosphere altogether with “Build A Boat.” The latter went Gold, generated 179 million-plus streams, attracted multiplatinum country superstar Gabby Barrett for a popular Duet version, captured #1 on both the Billboard Hot Christian Songs Chart and Christian Airplay Chart, and soared as “the longest-running Mediabase Christian AC #1 song of 2022.” Plus, it inspired the best-selling children’s book—also entitled Build A Boat—which Colton penned. In the wake of this success, “Miracles” reached Gold status too. All the while, he distinguished himself as the rare presence who could perform at the White House’s National Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony or at the Grand Ole Opry. He maintained this momentum with “Rest Of My Life”—which played over the credits of Angel Studios’ SIGHT starring Terry Chen and Greg Kinnear—and 2024’s “UP+UP.” He has performed on Good Morning America, Fox & Friends, The Kelly Clarkson Show, and Today as well as receiving praise from People and more. He even launched his own fragrance “Desert Rain” in collaboration with Day Three Fragrances. Plus, Steinway & Sons welcomed him to its roster as an endorsee alongside the likes of Billy Joel and Harry Connick, Jr. Now, his artistry continues to connect straight from the heart on a series of 2025 singles, starting with "The Love I Have For You," available now.
