Fact #1) Faith-Ann (or F.A.Y. as she's commonly known) is of the generation 'multi-tasker.' i.e. she is a photographer, journalist, writer, night-time poet, day-time surfer (of the web and high seas), and digital consultant, specializing in music and art. Having worked at various music start-ups, she's attune to technology, art and culture trends. Her end goal, however, is simple : to tell the story of artists and art - be it through photos, a fine paragraph, or an expertly crafted website. Afterall, art begets art.....
Fact #2) FAY is a half-japanese, American mutt, who was born in Syndey, Australia and has lived in NY, SF, Toronto, Vancouver, DC, and LA with brief stints in Paris and Tokyo. Not coincidentally, she doesn't get jetlag.
Fact #3) When not roving stages with camera in hand or traveling, she manages her one-woman digital strategy company, consulting dudes like Justin Timberlake on what a website should look like and./or what it should contain. Ironically, said company is decidedly un-googlable.
Fact #3) FAY was the first editor at the music site RCRD LBL,founded by Peter Rojas of Gizmodo and Engadget and Josh Deutsch of Downtown Records., and New York Editor for Virgin Music's website.
Fact #4) Her photos and/or words have been published in The Economist, Fast Company, Dazed and Confused, Monocle Magazine, Brooklyn Vegan, The Fader, Blender Magazine,and Art Observed.
Fact #5) The biggest rush in her career so far was introducing Perry Farrell to Lou Reed for the first time at SXSW 2007 - on camera. Sparks flew....
Fact # 7) She's got a bright blue birth mark on her shoulder, which a bartender once told her meant she is a descendent of Genghis Khan. Even if that was just a pick-up line, it's worth a ponder.
