“Music is what language would be if it could”

A classical pianist with claiming numerous awards celebrated performances, including a debut with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra at age 14 and a solo recital at Carnegie Hall, Faith's youth was shaped by the rigors and rewards of classical training. She earned her Bachelor's degree in Piano Pedagogy from Northwestern University before completing her Master of Music in Piano Performance and Pedagogy from the Manhattan School of Music, developing a deep understanding of musical structure and expression that would influence all her future artistry.

What started in concert halls has evolved into unexpected spaces. Faith now channels her classical background into her passion as a DJ (L8DY8, in reference to the 88 keys of the piano) where she weaves Afro House and electronic music into immersive, melodic experiences. Whether at the piano or behind the decks, Faith’s performances are deeply visceral and emotive, drawing audiences into emotional landscapes shaped by both her formal training and her love of contemporary rhythms. More than anything, Faith is a true student of the music.

Alongside her ever-present passion for making music, Faith has also made her mark in business, joining Stripe as an early employee and later acquiring True Glory Brands.

Faith’s journey shows that creative evolution isn't about leaving something behind, but about building bridges between different forms of self-expression.
