During his time on “American Idol”, he was known as the “Velvet Teddy Bear”. Last season on “The Masked Singer”, Studdard and fellow Idol alum Clay Aiken were The Beets!
This holiday season, Studdard has released his first ever Christmas album – an EP called “My Favorite Holiday”.
The title is also the first singe and is available via streaming and download. The EP will be released on November 1.
Studdard spoke on the upcoming album saying, “I have always wanted to do a Christmas project and for some reason, it was always put on the back burner. Then about two years ago, my friend, Producer and M/D John Jackson and I decided to start on the music and allow for it to land wherever, when we finished. So, two years of off and on, and we now have this EP. The process of recording the project was fun, but also very nostalgic. I grew up singing a lot of these tunes and it always makes me feel happy to remember holiday memories of old.”
