GRAND PRIZE

Daylight

David Kushner, Hayden Robert Hubers, Jeremy Fedryk, Joshua Bruce Williams, Edison Boon Eason, Drake Jon Livingston Jr. (David Kushner)
Chicago, IL, USA

The moment you first hear the Grand Prize winning song, “Daylight," you know it’s something special. From Kushner's incredible, soulful vocal (with its deep baritone rising to a falsetto) to the heart-grabbing melody and lyrics, the song draws you in and finds a place in your heart. Co-written by David Kushner, Robert Hubers, Jeremy Fedryk, and Josh Bruce Williams, the song is a tour de force of songwriting. 

Kushner said that “Daylight” is a song that speaks to him from his own life experiences and is a realization of the complexity of his own desires:  the desire for light but always running toward the darkness instead of light.

Congratulations to David Kushner and the co-writers for penning this ISC award-winning song.
