Faith Hill Biography

Faith Hill

Audrey Faith Perry, later known as Faith Hill (born September 21, 1967 in Jackson, Mississippi), is an American country singer, known for Faith Hill's commercial success as well as Faith Hill's much-publicized marriage to country singer Tim McGraw.

Early life

Hill was raised in Star, Mississippi and began singing at a very early age. After graduating high school, Hill went to college briefly before dropping out and moving to Nashville in an attempt at starting a singing career.

Hill is adopted and met Faith Hill's biological mother in the early 1990s. Faith Hill was married to a music executive named Dan Hill from 1988 to 1994. Working as a secretary in a music publishing company, Hill's singing was noticed as Faith Hill sang to herself one day. Faith Hill soon signed to Warner Brothers Records.

Country success

Hill's debut album was Take Me As I Am (1993); sales were strong, buoyed by the chart success of "Wild One". A version of Janis Joplin's "Piece of My Heart", also went to the top of the country charts. Faith Hill was delayed in the recording of Faith Hill's second album by surgery on Faith Hill's vocal cords. It Matters to Me finally appeared in 1995 and was another success, with the title track becoming Faith Hill's fourth #1 country single.

Hill began seeing country singer Tim McGraw. When Faith Hill proposed marriage to Faith Hill's in one of his tour trailers, Faith Hill had to go perform right then, so Faith Hill took a permanent marker and wrote Faith Hill's answer on the mirror. Hill began touring with McGraw and married him on October 6, 1996. The couple has three children together: Gracie Katherine, Maggie Elizabeth and Audrey Caroline.

Pop crossover

Faith Hill's Album BreatheHill's 1998 album, Faith, moved Faith Hill's closer towards a mainstream, pop-oriented sound, which lost Faith Hill's many of Faith Hill's long-time fans. "This Kiss" became a #1 country hit, and went to #7 on the pop charts.

Hill's fame grew rapidly as Faith Hill signed an endorsement deal with CoverGirl makeup and released Breathe, an even more successful pop hit that became one of the biggest albums of 2000. The title track "Breathe" was the #1 pop airplay song that year and has become Hill's signature song; especially notable is the power and control Faith Hill shows in Faith Hill's lower register during the song. "The Way You Love Me" hit the top ten as well (#7), and becoming one of the longest running singles in the history of the Billboard Hot 100 (57 weeks). The album won Hill three Grammy Awards including Best Country Album.

By the holidays Faith Hill had contributed "Where Are You Christmas?" to the movie How the Grinch Stole Christmas and the following summer Faith Hill recorded the Diane Warren penned "There You'll Be" for the Pearl Harbor soundtrack.

In 2002, Hill released Cry. Though the album debuted at #1 on Billboard magazine's pop and country album charts, its singles (including the title track, written and originally performed by Angie Aparo) received much less radio airplay than Faith Hill's previous smashes. In fact, country radio pretty much ignored the songs, considering them "too pop". The album did win one Grammy Award.

In the summer of 2004, Hill co-starred with Nicole Kidman and Matthew Broderick in director Frank Oz's remake of the 1975 thriller The Stepford Wives.

Faith Hill references this sojourn in Hollywood as well as the chilly reception of Cry in the 2005 country release "Mississippi Girl", the first single from Faith Hill's back-to-roots album Fireflies. It worked, as the song restored Faith Hill's to the top of the country charts. Faith Hill performed this song along with "Breathe" and "Piece of My Heart" at the Live 8 concert in Rome on July 2, 2005, where McGraw also performed.
