BTSCelebs: Please describe the songwriting and recording process:
Plumb: How long do you have? It’s a living, breathing thing thing that has no rule or formula for me. It can start on piano or with a loop or on guitar or raw emotion. Sometimes rhythm is 1st… other times its lyrics or concepts.. or a melody I can’t get out of my head. Recording happens all at the same time with the writing. More often than not the scratch demo we make along the way during the writing ends up the main foundation for its recording… I don’t ‘demo’ my songs much… I write them and work on them til they sound like the recording they need to be. However in writing for other artists, I do in face demo them… and have a team I trust to help me with that.
What is the difference between movie soundtrack recording and putting together a regular album?
Usually on a movie soundtrack you have either given license/permission for your song that’s been in the film to be on the soundtrack or you write an original for it but the recording process is no different than if it were a total Plumb album. It’s just the one song (or more if you have more than one cut in the film.)
Let’s say an average writer has written lyrics to a beautiful song that they would love for an artist to put on their album, how could they submit their material to particular artists for consideration?
Sadly, it just doesn’t work that way for me. I don’t accept material that way. Still… a writer can seek out publishers and create a relationship… that’s really the only way it will get read or listened to… you have to do something that makes your art different than everyone else’s demo or piece of paper on a publisher’s desk. You have to make a personal connection or develop a relationship with him/her or the artist. Its not impossible… however for me… I would never read material just popped in the mail or handed to me in person from a more or less stranger. Its just not how it works in my world. Seek out artists who don’t write their own material unless you have arranged to connect with that artist personally in some way… but leave your mind open to having crazy stuff happen… Its not impossible for the right hands to get it… just my 2 cents.
BTSCelebs will review her entire “NEED YOU NOW” album …. so stay tuned for complete Plumb comeback details!

Get Your Style!
Are you jealous of Psy? Have you ever wondered how you can get 1 billion views or even 1 million views on your YouTube channel or blog?
Well, fret no longer… BTSCelebs has discovered the key to Psy’s success!
The answer lies in who Psy truly is. The South Korean K-Pop recording artist is no teenager nor was he on anyone’s world album charts. I believe the key to his success is simple, he used what he had to get YOUR attention. Psy has talents and he used creativity to bring it to the masses.
What differentiates “Gangnam Style” from all of the millions of other videos out there?
Psy’s creativity! There is music, rapping, an intriguing dance and plenty of comedy! The music man is ALWAYS himself no matter where he goes. The music industry usually values sex appeal, beauty and conformity. However, after a certain amount of time ALL of that becomes boring!
Psy used his own individual talents, made a song/video he loved and shared it with the world! He is attractive and his music is catchy all at the same time!
What is my point? If you want to achieve 1 billion views, be yourself! Whatever defines you and what you love is ALL that matters! It’s impossible to be Psy to get the views, but the best you CAN! Global promotion doesn’t hurt either.
I love entertainment! Shows like “Entertainment Tonight” and “Access Hollywood“ have attracted me for I don’t know how long, but I can’t be them to get their views. I will always report on my favorites in entertainment right here on BTSCelebs, however, I can’t follow their strict regime of news. Why? It’s not me. BTSCelebs’ true purpose will always be unknown because besides my pledge to give you Behind-The-Scenes info… the range of topics will be based on my creativity.
I encourage you to get 1 billion views YOUR WAY!

Plumb returns to the music scene!
Beloved recording artist Plumb (real name Tiffany Arbuckle Lee) is ready to release her new album “NEED YOU NOW” on February 26th, 2013. This will be her first solo album in five years!
The talented rock star, who has brought inspirational music to the masses since 1997, spoke to BTSCelebs about her life in the music industry. She touches on everything from her name origin, the truth behind going mainstream and how she had the opportunity to work with top acts in the business.
BTSCelebs: Why did you choose the name Plumb as your stage name?
Plumb: Because of the Suzanne Vega song “My Favorite Plum” off her record titled “9 Objects of Desire”. She’s been a songwriting influence on me since I started writing. I love how she is poetic and vulnerable, metaphorical and still pointed when necessary.
This year marks your 15 year anniversary in the music anniversary, is there any memory in the Contemporary Christian Music or mainstream that is your favorite?
That’s a very hard question… I would probably say my 1st real tour in 1997/1998 with Jars of Clay. It had so many great unforgettable moments and I learned so much and made relationships that are still some of my very best that I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to top it from a touring perspective. It was sensational.
What made you crossover to mainstream music?
I didn’t. I just made music and its found its way to ears that needed to hear it I suppose… and I just try to be faithful and ride the wave of that. I’m thankful and I love a diverse audience. I don’t write music for Christians. I’m a Christian who writes music that I hope inspires, encourages and brings hope to every listener.
You have written songs for Mandy Moore, Michelle Branch, Kimberley Locke and many others, what opportunities arose for you to be able to contribute to their musical projects?
The industry is best lived in relationships, connections, friendships, respect for each other. When opportunities arise… I just try to cease the day, so I live in freedom yet while keeping an ear to the ground.
