Faith Hill American country singer
Name:Faith Hill
Faith Hill is an American country singer.
Faith Hill’s vocal talent was apparent early, and she had her first public performance, a 4-H luncheon, when she was seven. In 1976, a few days before her 9th birthday, she attended a concert by Elvis Presley at the State Fair Coliseum, in Jackson, which impressed her deeply. By the time she was a teenager, Hill was a regular performer at area churches, even those not in her own Baptist denomination. At 17, Hill formed a band that played in local rodeos. She briefly attended college at Hinds Community College in Raymond, Mississippi, but at 19 quit school to move to Nashville and pursue her dream of being a country singer. In her early days in Nashville, Hill auditioned to be a backup singer for Reba McEntire, but failed to secure the job. After a stint selling T-shirts, Hill became a secretary at a music publishing firm.
Apart from Faith Hill’s quest for entry into the music industry, Hill also began working toward a more robust family life. In 1988 she married songwriter and music executive Dan Hill, who provided the surname she would use as she became famous. Her first husband was not prominent Canadian singer-songwriter Dan Hill despite the similar name. Two years later, she began a search for her natural mother, whom she eventually met and with whom she corresponded until her mother’s death.

A co-worker heard Hill singing to herself one day, and soon the head of her music publishing company was encouraging her to become a demo singer for the firm. She supplemented this work by singing backup vocals for songwriter Gary Burr, who often performed his new songs at Nashville’s Bluebird Cafe. During one of those performances, an executive from Warner Bros. Records was in the audience, and, impressed with Hill’s voice, began the process of signing her to a recording contract.
Shortly after the release of her album, Hill found her marriage falling apart. She and Dan Hill divorced in 1994.
In September 2008, Faith Hill issued her first Christmas album, titled Joy to the World. The compilation was given a positive reviews, including about.com, which gave the album four and a half out of five stars, calling the album, “a great collection of classic Christmas songs.” Hill continually worked on the album two years prior to its official release. The album included one new track, “A Baby Changes Everything,” which was released as the album’s only single in late 2008.
On February 1, 2009 Hill performed “America the Beautiful” at the Super Bowl 43 pregame show. The other performers at the pregame show were Jennifer Hudson and Journey, and Bruce Springsteen performed at the Halftime show.
Faith Hill is releasing her first fragrance by Coty in October 2009. A seventh studio album is expected in 2010.
