Faye Webster
American folk singer and photographer
Faye Connell Webster (born June 25, 1997) is an American singer-songwriter from Atlanta, Georgia. She has released five studio albums: Run and Tell (2013), Faye Webster (2017), Atlanta Millionaires Club (2019), I Know I'm Funny Haha (2021), and Underdressed at the Symphony (2024).
Early life
Faye Connell Webster was born June 25, 1997 in Atlanta, Georgia. Several of her family members are also musicians, and by age 14, Webster was writing music. She attended Henry W. Grady High School in Atlanta. After watching her perform at open mic nights, her dad advised her to record her music so that people could take it home with them.
Career
At the age of 16, on October 30, 2013, Webster self-released her debut album, Run and Tell.
After graduating high school, she enrolled in Belmont University in Nashville to study songwriting, but soon dropped out and moved back to Atlanta after deciding that she was "wasting time and money". She made a deal with her parents that she would live at home for a year and if she was not successful as a musician, she would return to college. Soon after dropping out, in 2017, Webster signed to Awful Records.

Why this record matters
The phrase “american folk singer and photographer” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 27, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q64010780. VIAF identifies the subject as 2514165710004049380003. The Library of Congress control number is no2019112497. 1 of 5 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1997, 2013, 2017 and 2019.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
