Anita Faye is authentic...a what-you-see-is-what-you-get kind of lady. But she is also a powerhouse inspirational artist and vocal prodigy, as well as an accomplished songwriter and sought after performer. She possesses a soothing and uplifting multi-octave soprano that is above all else anointed. Among her noted accomplishments, Anita Faye has opened for Martha Munizzi at the Monterey Gospel Festival, was a member of the Edwin Hawkins Youth & Young Adult Mass Choir, and of late has been both a host and special guest vocalist at Sherry Gordy’s Take the Stage showcase in Las Vegas. Anita was also a featured Gospel Showcase Artist at this year's Urban Digital & Amalgamation Conference in San Diego, sharing the stage with Jessica Reedy, Brent Jones and Jermaine Dolly. In 2007, Anita was a finalist for Best Gospel Album in the International Independent Music Awards for her first project, "R U Willing."
Fast forward - Anita Faye's latest project is entitled "Late Bloomer," an EP featuring the epic praise song, "Till it Reaches Heaven" and the awesome jazz remake of the hymn "Hold to God's Unchanging Hand."
