Early years

Haddon launched his solo career as a Christian R&B vocalist with the Lost & Found on Tyscot/Verity in 2002. The album peaked at No. 1 on Billboard's Top Gospel Charts receiving wide acclaim; the hit "Sinner's Prayer" was played extensively on gospel and mainstream R&B radio stations.

Crossroads followed in 2004 with sort of a 1970s feel and the upbeat single "God is Good". In an uncharacteristic move for marketing a gospel album, Haddon made an appearance on the long-running syndicated series Soul Train; he performed the single and the title track from the album on the program. He appeared to be expanding into mainstream venues with 7 Days, released on October 10, 2006. 7 Days was almost entirely produced by R&B producers Tim & Bob The bulk of the album is contemporary; the albums has a traditional gospel-flavored lead single "Heaven Knows" which Haddon produced himself. Deitrick and his brother Gerald produced a comeback album, Brand New Day, for Vanessa Bell Armstrong, a veteran gospel singer. Deitrick Haddon & Voices of Unity's Live the Life won Gospel Music Workshop of America Excellence Awards for "New Artist of the Year—Urban Contemporary" and "Album of the Year—Urban Contemporary".

On September 2, 2008, Deitrick Haddon released an album called Revealed with the popular single, "Love Him Like I Do" (featuring Mary Mary and Ruben Studdard). On July 27, 2010, Haddon made his acting debut in a movie released directly to DVD called Blessed and Cursed. On January 25, 2012, he released Church on the Moon, his fifth album with Verity Records. The album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Gospel chart and No. 65 on the Billboard 200. He was part of the cast of the reality television show Preachers of L.A., which chronicles the lives of six Los Angeles preachers including Haddon. The show began airing on October 9, 2013 and was broadcast on the Oxygen network.

Television

In the summer of 2019, Deitrick Haddon starred as Clarence Burnett in the movie Sins of the Father on TV One.
