Rachel Man's in the house in the podcast house today,
you're watching the Christian Music bro podcast. It's great to
see everyone's face. Rachel, thank you for joining me today.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Thank you so much for having me. I'm so excited
and I'm excited to have you here.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
We have a lot to talk about and we're going
to try to get as many questions as we can
in the time that we have together today. And Rachel,
for you're a newer artist, can I tell us a
little bit about how you got started music? Like what
a little bit about your journey, like how did you
start doing music? And then what maybe you go into
Christian music like having a fake faith allvent and see
your music.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Yeah, So I started singing at the age of seven,
so I've been doing it forever.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
I loved singing, I saying.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Actually, first my first solo was ten years old, singing
a Michael deb Smith's song called Somebody Love Me. And
you know, I was singing in front of all my friends,
so it was kind of like a ten year old kid.
They were all like ha ha ha, you know, but
I loved it so much. You know, I just love singing.
So I started singing at a really young age.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
I sing in school.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
I went to a Christian school growing up, So I
sang at my school again in front of all my peers.
You know, when you sing in front of like when
you're in high school or like a you know, a
teenager and you're singing in front of your friends, you
know they they'll laugh at you.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
So it was good.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
You know, it's good for me because I learned not
to laugh as people were laughing. So I had to,
you know, learn. You know, I learned a lot of
stage things, even like in school singing in front of
my peers. And so I started singing in school. I
sing at church. I did a lot of plays, I
did a lot of things like that. But I always knew,
(01:37):
like my even as a young girl, like I knew
that I wanted to sing Christian music because you know,
I grew up in a Christian household. I grew up
in a Christian home, and that's what the music that
I listened to was Christian music. So I always knew
that I wanted to do something in that arena.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
And so I'm just very thankful because you know.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
I it could be very to give up, and you know, gosh,
it's you know, if you look at the world around you,
you know all these other artists, and you know, it
could you could just feel like a number. But you
know what's cool is that God doesn't look at us
as just a number. He looks at us as very
unique and that we all have a calling and a plan.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
And so I just used that for me as I
know that God has a calling on my life.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
We all have one, and while I'm on this earth,
I want to use my giftings to do what He's
called me to do. So that really gives me the
drive to keep doing it.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
That's really exciting.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Do you have any musical inspirations that made you, Like
you said, you like church music and you grew up
going to church and everything, but yeah, any inspirations that
inspired you more than like you said you covered to
Michael W.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Smith song like, was he one of your inspiration?
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Oh? Yeah, so I grew up.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
He was The first concert I ever went to was
when I was nine years old. I went to the
Michael one of Michael Smith's concerts of Pitsacola, and I
loved it. I mean, I mean that's what I grew
up listening to Michael W. Smith Whiteheart I don't know
if you ever remember who they were, but they were
like a rock band.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
They're so good.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Yeah, Petra grew up listening to them, you know, So
that's kind of like I grew up, you know, listening
to that sound, you know, as a as a kid,
because that's kind of what was out, you know, Michael A. Smith,
Petra Whiteheart, that was kind of what was popular. So
that's really what I grew up listening to. But you know,
I love all music. I mean I love gospel, you know,
(03:32):
you know, some good R and B sounds, you know,
I just I love music, Like I'm just a very
big fan of music. But what if you're going to
be in my car, you're gonna hear me listening to
like gospel, you know, Christian, Like, I'm gonna be listening
to that because that just lifts me up, you know,
it uplifts me.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
So I want to listen.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
To that, right And with all these like music inspirations,
you name some legendary bands like Petra Whiteheart, Michael W. Smith,
you are currently you work all Nathan from Plus one
about how that experience has been with you.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Yeah, so that's been really cool.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
So he was one of those people that I was like,
oh my gosh, Nathan when I first started working with him,
this is like a long time ago. I met them
a long time ago, he and his wife. So I
grew up listening as well to Plus One, like when
I was in high school, like that was like the popular,
like you know, Plus ones and stuff like that. So
I grew up, you know, I listened to them a lot,
(04:32):
you know, and I just still love their music, you know.
And so Nathan, I met him several years ago, and
you know, we got together, started working on some music,
and it's been really fun. He's a great guy. I mean,
Nathan is like he's awesome. He's a great guy. You know,
(04:53):
he loves the Lord. He's got a family, he's a
great dad. You know, he's married, he's got you know.
But he's the on top of that though, like he's
so talented, and I think, you know, when you work
with somebody that does such a good job like he does,
like he does a fantastic job with what he does.
So that's why I want to keep working with him,
because I just keep saying, like Nathan.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Let's do another song, Let's do it. So working with
him has been really.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Cool, and you just released a song unfiltered? Can tell
us a little bit about that song, Like there's any
where we were working with Nathan, Like what inspired that song?
Speaker 4 (05:25):
Yeah? What was on your heart while you wrote the song?
Speaker 2 (05:29):
So I actually wrote that song about ten years ago.
Can you believe that? In Nashville?
Speaker 3 (05:35):
So I wrote it with three other co writers and
we actually wrote the song initially. My friend Christina, she
we wrote the song. We all co wrote on it,
but we actually wrote on it for her because she
was going to do an album and she wanted to
do one, and so she wanted to do this song
about being vulnerable in front of God, and we came
(05:56):
up with the Unfiltered song, which which is really cool
because like I feel like now in our world today,
there are so many more filters, Like back in twenty fifteen,
we were starting to learn about putting a filter on
a photo, right, but now there's so many more filters,
and so the song has more you know, obviously several
can have several meanings being unfiltered in front of God,
(06:18):
but also we understand filters. You know, we're always trying
to put a filter on something because we want to
look our best and we want it to look our best.
And the cool thing about the song Unfiltered is like
God wants us to be unfiltered in front of him.
He wants us to be our truest self, you know,
if we're going through something, we can let him know.
And I told this to somebody before. He already knows
(06:39):
it anyway, so you're not hiding anything from him. He
knows it anyway. So it's okay to share what's in
your heart to him and be yourself and be your truest,
authentic self, you know, in front of him. And that's
where I really feel like healing can begin is when
you truly like confess like hey I'm going through something,
God help me through it, or just hey God, I
(07:02):
need you, you know. So that's what we wrote and
the reason why we came up with Unfiltered is we
want to be truly unfiltered before God.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
That's exciting.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
And for those who are watching, listening, streaming, whatever you're
doing with this podcast, and if time, check out Rachel
Man's song Unfiltered.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
It's a great song.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
It's on Spotify. I Spotify, so I always bring on Spotify.
I don't forget about you too, Apple.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Cool, but I always right, that's right, it's out there too.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
When when I was diving on their Instagram when we
first started talking, like a few weeks ago, when we
were setting everything up, your bias is Carrie Underwood CMT Awards.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
What does that mean? I'm just curious.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
What Underwood unfiltered?
Speaker 4 (07:50):
And it's like, no, that can't be it. So now
it's like.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
No, no.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
So I was asked to sing with Carrie Underwood on
the CMT Awards and so I did. And so that's
kind of what I put in my bio is like
kind of something that I've been able to do that
was really fun, and that was actually really fun. It
was at the bridgtone Arena in Nashville, and you know,
I got to spend several days at the arena. You know,
we did a practice and then uh, the night of
(08:18):
the awards, I got to hang out backstage the whole
night and just like all these artists were back there,
even non country artists were there.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
So that was kind of fun.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
I got to meet a lot of people and got
to get a lot of photos. So it was just
like a really fun It was a lot of fun.
So I just put that in my bio because it
was something I was able to do.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
I just was like, wait, write the song with Like
that's what works.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Hey, I'd be cool. She can she can co write
a song with Yeah, right, I should.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
I should. Probably.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
The problem is they give you like a tiny little
space to write something, and you don't have enough time
to explain what you mean. So, hey, it's a good
topic of questions, right.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
Exactly.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Yeah, feel luck.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
But what have you been learning in this new new season?
Your mus are like, like you just released on filtered
after ten years, you're working on new music, like a
new song side with Nathan from.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Plus one to Everything. Why have you been learning in.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Like this season, like spiritually, creatively or personally? Is there
anything that you've done learning?
Speaker 3 (09:32):
So I think I'm just learning to trust God. I
think any artist, you know, they you know, when you're
putting yourself out there, you know you have to be
you can be very vulnerable to because you're just basically saying, hey,
here here's a song that I came out with.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
I hope you like it.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
You know, there's gonna be people who like it, people
who don't like it. But I honestly think like in
this season, especially I'm just trusting God, Like God.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Whatever you want to do with this.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
You know, I'm just being I'm being the vessel You've
told me to do it, So I'm just being faithful
to what you said.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
So now it's up to you God, to do whatever
you want to do.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
And then I'm I'm also asking God to show me,
like God, Okay, give me ideas, give me, give me
ideas of like how to get this out here. And
it's amazing sometimes I get these like little pops of inspiration, Hey,
you should do this, And there's other things that I'm
thinking about that I need to do, and I've already
thought in my mind. You know, I've Okay, that's a
(10:33):
good idea, and I know that that's like God helping
me think of some ways to get it out there.
So I think just in this season is just trusting
God because it is a faith walk doing music and
just trusting Him every step of the.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Way him into that and it's you're going to fall
and trust God and everything. And there's so many paths
and with many there's many pathways you can get to
odd like either going to church, free and model. There's
many ways I would they do to speaking of pathways though.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
What what is a second?
Speaker 2 (11:07):
How is it?
Speaker 4 (11:08):
How would effort this? How do you stay afloat? I
don't know if that's the proper word, but there's like grounded.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Rounded in these and music now people pull you different
down or a different way each way, so it's like
different like pathways, like how do you stay grounded? Like
where your roots are? Or what do you think about
like going different ways? Because that's what I feel like now.
All these artists are doing different genre like if you're
a worship artist, are making you do like a pop song,
if you're a pop song and want you to try
to dive in the hip hop and the elements or
(11:38):
country like the country of Christian music now has been
a big thing like Brandon Lake and everything.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Yeah, I think it's honestly just asking God where he
wants me to go, because I'm open to do whatever
God tells me to do for myself. You know, if
if he says, hey, I want you to partner with
some certain if like I feel like he's calling me
to partner with a certain artist to get it out
to a bigger audience that would probably never have heard
it if I didn't do that I'm open to do
(12:07):
whatever God wants me to do. One thing, though, that
I will not do is I will not compromise my
relationship with God to do it. And I think that
that's been you know some people, and I don't know
who would or wouldn't because I can't say, but there
might be somebody out there that says I want to
make it a music so bad that I'll just do
whatever it takes. I don't care, and I'm not that way.
(12:30):
I love Jesus very much. He's my best friend, and
you know, I want to go wherever he tells me
to go. So if that does mean collaborating with another artist,
I'm cool with it. I mean, my next song is
a duet, so I mean, but it's like it's strictly
like Christian I mean, it's not anything more than that.
But if that ever opens for me like an opportunity
(12:53):
and I feel like it's the way that He wants
me to go, I'll do it for sure. Like I'm
open to whatever God wants. However, again without compromise, meaning
if if the song has a bad word in it,
I'm not going to do it, you know what I mean.
So I think I think I have to make sure
that I'm that I see what's going on. Trust God
(13:13):
and ask him if this is something he wants me
to do, and if it is, then I'll walk through it.

Speaker 3 (08:48):
Hey, I'd be cool. She can she can co write
a song with Yeah, right, I should.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
I should. Probably.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
The problem is they give you like a tiny little
space to write something, and you don't have enough time
to explain what you mean. So, hey, it's a good
topic of questions, right.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
Exactly.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Yeah, feel luck.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
But what have you been learning in this new new season?
Your mus are like, like you just released on filtered
after ten years, you're working on new music, like a
new song side with Nathan from.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Plus one to Everything. Why have you been learning in.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Like this season, like spiritually, creatively or personally? Is there
anything that you've done learning?
Speaker 3 (09:32):
So I think I'm just learning to trust God. I
think any artist, you know, they you know, when you're
putting yourself out there, you know you have to be
you can be very vulnerable to because you're just basically saying, hey,
here here's a song that I came out with.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
I hope you like it.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
You know, there's gonna be people who like it, people
who don't like it. But I honestly think like in
this season, especially I'm just trusting God, Like God.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Whatever you want to do with this.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
You know, I'm just being I'm being the vessel You've
told me to do it, So I'm just being faithful
to what you said.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
So now it's up to you God, to do whatever
you want to do.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
And then I'm I'm also asking God to show me,
like God, Okay, give me ideas, give me, give me
ideas of like how to get this out here. And
it's amazing sometimes I get these like little pops of inspiration, Hey,
you should do this, And there's other things that I'm
thinking about that I need to do, and I've already
thought in my mind. You know, I've Okay, that's a
(10:33):
good idea, and I know that that's like God helping
me think of some ways to get it out there.
So I think just in this season is just trusting
God because it is a faith walk doing music and
just trusting Him every step of the.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Way him into that and it's you're going to fall
and trust God and everything. And there's so many paths
and with many there's many pathways you can get to
odd like either going to church, free and model. There's
many ways I would they do to speaking of pathways though.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
What what is a second?
Speaker 2 (11:07):
How is it?
Speaker 4 (11:08):
How would effort this? How do you stay afloat? I
don't know if that's the proper word, but there's like grounded.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Rounded in these and music now people pull you different
down or a different way each way, so it's like
different like pathways, like how do you stay grounded? Like
where your roots are? Or what do you think about
like going different ways? Because that's what I feel like now.
All these artists are doing different genre like if you're
a worship artist, are making you do like a pop song,
if you're a pop song and want you to try
to dive in the hip hop and the elements or
(11:38):
country like the country of Christian music now has been
a big thing like Brandon Lake and everything.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Yeah, I think it's honestly just asking God where he
wants me to go, because I'm open to do whatever
God tells me to do for myself. You know, if
if he says, hey, I want you to partner with
some certain if like I feel like he's calling me
to partner with a certain artist to get it out
to a bigger audience that would probably never have heard
it if I didn't do that I'm open to do
(12:07):
whatever God wants me to do. One thing, though, that
I will not do is I will not compromise my
relationship with God to do it. And I think that
that's been you know some people, and I don't know
who would or wouldn't because I can't say, but there
might be somebody out there that says I want to
make it a music so bad that I'll just do
whatever it takes. I don't care, and I'm not that way.
(12:30):
I love Jesus very much. He's my best friend, and
you know, I want to go wherever he tells me
to go. So if that does mean collaborating with another artist,
I'm cool with it. I mean, my next song is
a duet, so I mean, but it's like it's strictly
like Christian I mean, it's not anything more than that.
But if that ever opens for me like an opportunity
(12:53):
and I feel like it's the way that He wants
me to go, I'll do it for sure. Like I'm
open to whatever God wants. However, again without compromise, meaning
if if the song has a bad word in it,
I'm not going to do it, you know what I mean.
So I think I think I have to make sure
that I'm that I see what's going on. Trust God
(13:13):
and ask him if this is something he wants me
to do, and if it is, then I'll walk through it.
