Christian singer Plumb admits she used to look down on Christian music, and thought herself "cooler and better" than Christian artists.
Tiffany Lee, popularly known as Plumb, recalled details of her painful past to Breathecast, and shared how Christian music actually saved her from despair.
"Early '20s is when I got signed to a Christian deal, and although I was Christian I was signed as a Christian that would go pop," Plumb said. "I kinda entered the music scene with this understanding that although I'm a Christian I will probably more or less be in the mainstream."
Because of her transition, her attitude towards Christian music changed and she developed a superiority complex towards the Christian music scene. "I was really judgmental about Christian music and didn't listen to it very much, didn't enjoy very much of it, and I had an ego," she said.
Back then, she would say that fame and fortune were fleeting and insist that she was not singing for money. But she now claims that her statements were "fake."
"I cared about being famous, I cared about being wealthy. In all reality I secretly wanted a big huge house and status," she confessed.
But everything changed for Plumb when her marriage crumbled down and she had no one else to turn to. She listened to the radio and there found comfort in the thing she spent her entire career despising - Christian music.
"I was in my kitchen and Aaron Shust came on the radio, 'My hope is in you, all the day long, I wont be shaken by drought or storm,'" she recalled. "My knees buckled... and I just wept and wept and wept."
She said that the song was like "oxygen" to her lungs, and after her breakdown, she couldn't get enough of Christian music. "I was humbled at the same time because I've been a part of this industry that gives hope to people who feel hopeless," she admitted.
Plumb has fully embraced the Christian music scene since then and she is now working on her marriage and her career, with a follow up album called Exhale.
