Aaron Thomas will be stepping away from gospel music to become an R&B singer after coming out as bisexual.

The artist, who previously was on talent search show American Idol, decided to step away from spiritual music after feeling distant from it, according to NewNowNext. Thomas said he struggled to “feel at home” singing gospel.

“The expectations of the gospel industry is to present yourself as this perfect person, when I was far from that,” Thomas said to Philadelphia Magazine. “The gospel industry always made me feel like I wasn’t good enough.”

Thomas will now perform as Terrance Stone.
