Faye Webster

Faye Webster grew up in Atlanta's suburbs, where she started writing songs as a teenager. Her music draws from folk and blues, with a sound that feels both intimate and slightly off-kilter. She put out her self-titled debut in 2017, followed by 'Atlanta Millionaires Club' two years later, which brought in more indie rock and R&B touches.

Her 2021 album 'I Know I'm Funny Haha' leans into that raw, vulnerable quality she's known for. Songs like 'In a Good Way' and 'Kingston' have a way of feeling conversational and quietly revealing, with lyrics that sit somewhere between wry observation and genuine ache. She works with a small band, including Stephen Patterson on drums and Sam Griffin on bass.

In 2020, Webster released a cover of R. Kelly's 'Bump N' Grind' and later apologized, citing Kelly's history of sexual abuse allegations. Her music often circles around themes of anxiety and melancholy, but it rarely feels heavy-handed. It's more like she's just letting you in on what she's turning over in her head.
