Singer and songwriter, Rachael Lampa, has recently topped the Billboard Christian Airplay chart with her single "Perfectly Loved (feat: TobyMac). She has been an artist since her teen years with multiple #1’s and has toured all over the world, it has been 20 years since her last single went #1 in 2002 with a song called "Live For You". At what seemed like the height of her career, and at the age of 20, Rachael walked away from her record deal with both a feeling of burnout and a sense of curiosity after spending most of her teen years on a tour bus. Over the next few years, the Colorado-native-turned-Nashvillian continued to release music independently, appeared on NBC’s The Sing Off with other Nashville artists, and toured in a more “out of the spotlight” way as a background singer with Jordin Sparks and later with Hozier.

During the pandemic, Rachael started to dream again and from what started as a conversation between a couple of friends at a small group, new music was born. “I finally feel like I am making music out of a place of freedom, instead of striving. A lot of my identity was wrapped up in achievement and performance when I was younger. Now I just feel like I get to do it because I enjoy it and I get to make music about things I care about and love.” Rachael’s new song, Perfectly Loved is a song inspired by both her inner-healing journey and her work with a non-profit that is founded and run by her family, called People Loving Nashville. This has become a theme for a lot of the songs off of her upcoming album to be released in 2023.

In the midst of all of this, ask her what her richest accomplishments are, and you’ll hear a lot more about the relationships that have formed her on the road, the fans that have become dear friends, the beauty that has bridged impossible gaps in service to the marginalized and the miracle of her own growing family and sense of home. Even while her own story continues to unfold, Rachael’s driving passion is to elevate the stories of those around her, using the vehicle of soul-filled music to help her access hearts in a way nothing else could. Her new music is an organic continuation of Rachael’s journey, both musically and lyrically and is bridging the gap between the fans that grew up with her and some brand new ones too.
