“Though Faith Gibson has plenty of chops, it's her attitude that drew me in. There's a sincerity in her voice that puts the ears at ease. She's the ‘jazz singer next door.’” --Mark Saleski, www.jazz.com

Faith Gibson began her career as a jazz vocalist at the 2003 Glasgow Jazz Festival following a Fionna Duncan Vocal Jazz Workshop, which she left, as she said in an interview, “knowing I was a jazz singer.” Yet, Gibson was a late discoverer of both jazz and the stage.

The Pittsburgh native moved to Germany after college to continue her studies and ended up staying. She had grown up within a very musical family and sang in school choruses and church choirs as well as smaller vocal ensembles, “but soloing always made me so frightened that I never considered a singing career except in my daydreams,” as she confided in another interview. But, in her search for a mode of expression, jazz ultimately seduced her. “I felt I had been set free. And it’s been jazz and only jazz ever since for me.” It drew her in and gave her the confidence to appear as soloist and leader on stage and to record her first CD, You Don’t Know Me, in 2004.

A few years later she was writing her own songs and operating the internet radio station Blossom’s Vocal Jazz on live365.com for listeners around the world. Faith’s second, much awaited album of mostly original songs, Big Moon, was released on June 15, 2009 and has been heard on jazz radio stations around the globe. Over the past seven years, Faith Gibson has performed regularly at jazz clubs in Berlin, closer to her home near Cologne and, most recently, in Belgium where her fan base is steadily growing.
