For the past seventeen years, Faith Hill has played a vital role in the country music genre. Along with fellow country singers, Shania Twain and Martina McBride, Hill has helped transform the genre and mold it into what modern country music is today.

Growing up in a small town in Mississippi, Faith Hill was fully aware at a young age that “music was going to take her some place.” She received her big break when Martha Sharp, an executive from the Warner Brothers label, heard her signing back-up for an established artist, Gary Burr, at a café in Nashville, who was impressed with Hill’s vocal ability, and secured her a recording contract with the Warner Brothers label.

Faith Hill's Early Music Career

When Faith Hill released her debut album, “Take Me As I Am,” its lead-off single, “Wild One” reached the top position of the Billboard Charts, and most remarkably, it held that top position for four consecutive weeks, making Hill the female country artist in thirty years to accomplish such milestone with a debut single. Thanks to the success of her debut album, Faith Hill was honored as the Top New Female Vocalist by the Academy of Country Music (ACM) in 1993.
