Faith Hill' Music Videos including I Need You, Stealing Kisses, Mississippi Girl, Lucky One on Yallwire

Audrey Faith Perry was born in Ridgeland, Mississippi in 1967, but grew up a few miles away with her adopted parents in Star, Mississippi. She began singing from an early age, inspired by an Elvis Presley concert she saw on her 9th birthday. Though her singing career began in the choir of local churches, she eventually formed a local country music band that played at fairs and rodeos. After graduating high school, Faith did what most successful country music stars do; she moved to Nashville, Tennessee in hopes of making her big break in the country music capital of the world.

Initially unsuccessful in her search for a recording contract, Faith worked for a time in a T-shirt shop, and eventually found a job doing clerical work at a small record label. At around this time she married Dan Hill, a producer at the firm. One day, a co-worker heard her singing idly while filing papers one day, and convinced Faith to record a demo with the company - a move that revitalized her singing career. She began singing locally again, and was signed to a record deal with Warner Brothers in 1993. Though by now she had divorced Dan Hill, she kept his surname as her stage name.

She released her first album with Warner Bros., Take Me As I Am, in 1993. The album featured restrained instrumentation, and instead focused on Hill’s rich voice. The beautiful young songstress’s voice was clear, alluring, and slightly raspy all at once on her debut album - perfect for singles Wild One and Life's Too Short To Love Like That, both of which deal with the struggles of a teenage girl growing up. Her sophomore record, 1995's It Matters To Me, was even more successful, selling 5x multi-platinum and reaching the 4th spot on the Billboard Top Country Albums index. In 1996, she met country heartthrob Tim McGraw while on tour, and the two married in a matter of weeks.
