Faith Evans Biography

Faith Renée Evans is an American singer-songwriter record producer and actress. Born in Lakeland Florida and raised in New Jersey Evans relocated to Los Angeles in 1993 for a career in the music business. After working as a backing vocalist for Al B. Sure and Christopher Williams she became the first female artist to contract with Sean Puff Daddy Combs' Bad Boy Entertainment recording company in 1994 for which she collaborated with several label mates such as Mary J. Blige and Carl Thomas and released three platinum-certified studio albums between 1995 and 2001 including Faith Keep the Faith and Faithfully.
In 2003 she ended her relationship with the company to sign with Capitol Records. Her first album released on the label The First Lady became her highest-charting album at the time reaching the top of the US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts while the holiday album A Faithful Christmas released the same year would become her last release before the company was bought in 2007. Following a longer hiatus Evans released her fifth album Something About Faith on the independent label Prolific/E1 Music in 2010.
