Rachael Lampa Was a Hit Singer Until She Gave It All Up
Singer Rachael Lampa shot to stardom in the early 2000s, releasing numerous hit songs and albums, but at the age of 20, she decided to walk away from it all. But after years of remaining out of the spotlight Lampa has once again found herself making music. She even landed a K-LOVE Fan Award earlier this year for her single “Perfectly Loved,” something she said was unexpected.
It’s a return Lampa never really thought would happen — and one she didn’t intentionally orchestrate. The singer reflected on the origins of her career at age 14 when she found herself on the road and in the studio, very literally growing up in the public eye. The process of being a well-known Christian singer while navigating the perils of being a teen wasn’t always easy.
“[I was] trying to make sense of growing up, getting to know who I am, but also like jumping on interviews and trying to pretend like I know who I am,” Lampa said, noting she decided at age 20 to quit professional music. “It was just a straight-up, like, ‘I don’t have peace right now. I feel very anxious. I feel lots of pressure. I don’t know what my voices, what their voices are, what God’s voice is. I can’t tell any of it apart,'” Lampa said.
One of the other efforts Lampa engaged in during her time away from fame was her family’s ministry People Loving Nashville, an effort to feed the homeless and minister to the incarcerated. What started as a simple operation scrounging together money to buy food for the homeless in downtown Nashville has turned into what she described as a “big block party” that serves the homeless and those in need. “Anybody that gets in line … gets fed,” Lampa said. “It went from 10 people, to 100 people, to, I think it’s about 500 a night now.”
The singer called her involvement in the effort “life-changing.” Lampa said she’s also learned a lot while ministering to women in prison as part of People Loving Nashville. She shares the Gospel message and comes alongside them. The experience even sparked the words behind “Perfectly Loved.” Here’s the story.
