BIGSONG:
Tammy Ranae Buffum (Grand Rapids, March 1968), known as Tammy Trent, is an American Christian singer. Gospel singer/songwriter Tammy Trent was originally inspired by her mother’s constant work as a speaker and performer on the Christian scene. By high school, she was playing in pop and rock bands, and Trent signed to Sparrow Records in 1999. Her light R&B flair is sweet and positive. Set You Free, her debut for Sparrow, was released in mid-2000. Six years later, she released I See Beautiful on September Day. Stronger followed in 2008. In addition to her recording career, Trent is also a speaker and author of several books. ~ MacKenzie Wilson
Buffum first became known as a state finalist in the Assemblies of God “Teen Talent Competition” in 1985. She is best known for the 2000 single “My Irreplaceable” which was No. 1 on the Christian chart.
On September 11, 2001, Buffum’s husband died while on a missions trip, causing a temporary halt in her music career. In 2002, she became a speaker for the Extraordinary Women’s conference and for the Women Of Faith conference.
