About
Faith Evans built a three-decade R&B career on grief and resilience, anchored by a 1997 Grammy-winning collaboration that made hip-hop history. Born June 10, 1973, in Lakeland, Florida, and raised in New Jersey, she signed to Sean Combs' Bad Boy Records in 1994 as the label's first female artist, then appeared uncredited on the Notorious B.I.G.'s "One More Chance" before releasing her debut album Faith in 1995. Her marriage to B.I.G. and his 1997 murder entangled her in East Coast–West Coast hip-hop rivalry, but Evans persisted through seven studio albums and over 20 million records sold worldwide. As a Gemini born in 1973, she embodies the sign's adaptability and communicative force.

Biography
Faith Evans turned R&B heartbreak into commercial and critical durability across three decades of recording. Born June 10, 1973, in Lakeland, Florida, and raised in New Jersey, she relocated to Los Angeles in 1991 and worked as a backing vocalist for Al B. Sure! and Christopher Williams before signing to Sean Combs' Bad Boy Records in 1994 as the label's first female artist. Her uncredited feature on the Notorious B.I.G.'s "One More Chance" preceded her debut album Faith (1995), which earned critical acclaim. In 1997, she guest performed on Combs' single "I'll Be Missing You," which won Best Rap Performance at the 40th Annual Grammy Awards and became the first hip-hop song to debut at number one on the Billboard Hot 100. Her second and third albums, Keep the Faith (1998) and Faithfully (2001), peaked at numbers six and 14 on the Billboard 200. After moving to Capitol Records in 2003, she released The First Lady (2005), which peaked at number two on the Billboard 200 and topped the US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. As a singer and songwriter, Evans performs live, records studio albums, and collaborates with other artists across R&B and hip-hop. Born in the United States, she has sold over 20 million records worldwide. A Gemini, Evans channels the sign's duality—switching between the vulnerability of her ballads and the assertiveness demanded by her industry position. Beyond music, she made her film debut in the 2000 musical drama Turn It Up and published Keep the Faith: A Memoir in 2008 with Grand Central Publishing, which won a 2009 African American Literary Award.
