Faith was born on September 21, 1967 in Jackson, Mississippi. She was given the name Audrey Faith by her adoptive parents, Ted and Edna Perry, who raised her from the age of one week. Growing up in the tiny town of Star, Mississippi, Faith discovered music at a young age. Her early musical influences were Elvis Presley, Tammy Wynette, George Strait and Reba McIntyre, as well as the gospel choir of her church. During high school, Faith excelled in cheerleading, drama and sports, but singing remained her first love. She joined a band while still in high school and performed at rodeos, county fairs and even the Raleigh, Mississippi Tobacco Spit. Faith attended Hinds Community College, but dropped out after one semester in order to pursue her dream of becoming a singer.
