Faith Evans started her music career as a backup singer and songwriter for artists like Hi-Five, Mary J. Blige, Pebbles, Al B. Sure, Usher, Tony Thompson, and Christopher Williams. In 1994 she met producer/impresario Sean "Puffy" Combs, who signed her to his Bad Boy label. In 1995, Evans released her debut album, Faith, which went platinum. The same year, she met fellow Bad Boy artist the Notorious B.I.G. and married him after a courtship of just nine days. The couple had unofficially separated 3 years later when Biggie was shot and killed in March 1997.
Faith lives in California with her husband and four children.
