Hudecki was born in Hamilton, Ontario. The oldest of nine children, he had many
opportunities to sing and entertain others early in his life.
He has been an elementary school teacher since 1969 until the present, beginning his career in education in Windsor Ontario at Our Lady of Lourdes and Holy Family schools until 1972. He then returned to Hamilton in 1973 and taught at Canadian Martyrs (two "tours of duty"), Holy Family, St. John the Baptist, St. James the Apostle, St. Vincent de Paul, St. Teresa of Avila, Holy Spirit and now is at St. Michael school. While teaching he wrote and directed Musical Comedies for schools- "Not Guilty", "One More Step" and "Today's Best Friend". Two family members are in the music business too. "I am the proud father of five children. My daughter Kristen, who also appears on Hudecki Christmas Dreaming, is a backup singer in Universal Honey with both album and song "Fearless" enjoying radio time (104.5 CHUM FM) this summer. My son Dylan is the bass player in By Divine Right who presently has a new album out called Good Morning Beautiful, with the single "Supernatural" on Toronto radio (102.1 the Edge) and (video) on MuchMusic. (New album was reviewed in the Toronto Star, Thursday, October 11, 2001, Ben Rayner)."
