Christian singer-songwriter in recovery, Honey Ribar, is an artist and worship leader who has been finding her voice since the age of five. What began as a childhood dream singing "Tomorrow" from Annie has evolved into a powerful ministry of redemption and truth. Honey’s early career was marked by rapid success, with her YouTube channel capturing millions of views and leading her to iconic venues like the House of Blues and Hotel Cafe.
However, intertwined with those professional highs was a private battle with people-pleasing, eating disorders, and addiction. After years of navigating the exhausting cycle of performing for others' approval, Honey reached a definitive breaking point in 2020. In the silence of a jail cell, she heard God’s voice calling her to let go of fear. That rock bottom wasn't a detour; it was a divine redirection. Now celebrating six years of sobriety, Honey has traded the pressure of a "branded" industry image for an authentic life of worship, proving that God can turn any mess into a masterpiece.
Honey’s music now serves as a bridge for those navigating their own shadows. Her raw, emotional singles, including "Earthquake (Singing Your Praises)" and "Be My Vision (Hallelujah)," have resonated globally, garnering over 4 million views on YouTube. Her transition from pop to purpose was honored in 2025 when she received the Annual Christian Songwriting Award. As a nominee of the Recording Academy, she uses her platform to remind her listeners that they are not alone and that their past struggles are the training ground for their future purpose.
Through her viral songs and transparent storytelling, Honey’s mission is to share the transformative power of God’s grace. She invites her audience to stop chasing a version of themselves that was never meant to be, often saying:
“I traded the world’s version of me for God’s truth. I thought the 'mess' had ruined my life, but it was actually the training ground for my future. I’m not here in spite of my past; I’m here because of it. And so are you."
