Carter Faith Jones was born in June 2000 in North Carolina. She grew up in a music-loving family and said she used to listen to music in the back seat of the car or to her grandfather’s cassettes, according to her 2022 interview with Billboard. “Then Taylor Swift came onto the scene and I wanted to pick up a guitar,” she said.

She was 16 when she was inspired to write her first song. “I was upset about a guy,” she told Billboard. “No song I turned on was making me feel better, so I had to write one myself.” Soon, Faith had taught herself how to play the guitar and the piano.

She moved to Nashville to pursue her dreams
