Faye Webster

The America indie-folk artist Faye Webster was born on June 25, 1997, in Atlanta, Georgia. She was raised by a family of musicians and began making music of her own as a teenager, even forming a rap group with several classmates while still in high school. She launched a solo career during the same era and released her debut album, Run and Tell, in October 2013, when she was 16 years old. Although Webster briefly relocated to Nashville, Tennessee, to study music at Belmont University following her high school graduation, she quickly returned home to Atlanta, where she signed with Awful Records in early 2017. After touring with fellow singer-songwriter Sean Rowe, she released her second album — the self-titled Faye Webster — in May 2017. By the following year, she'd left the roster of Awful Records and aligned herself instead with Secretly Canadian, for whom she released the album Atlanta Millionaires Club in May 2019. Critically praised for its mix of folk, R&B, and alt-country, Atlanta Millionaires Club reached number 25 on the US Heatseekers Albums chart. "Better Things," the first song from 2021's I Know I'm Funny Haha, was chosen by President Barak Obama as one of his favorite songs of the year, while the also itself reached number 9 on US Heatseekers Albums and number 10 on US Folk Albums. Two years later, the 2017 track "I Know You" experienced a resurgence in popularity, debuting at Number 11 on the Top 50 Rock Alternative Songs chart in the US while also appearing on the Shazam charts in America, Canada, and Norway.
