about
FaithNYC (sometimes spelled Faith NYC) is a soulful rock band from New York, NY, United States, fronted by Felice Rosser. Born in Detroit, she experienced Motown, the 1967 riots, Funkadelic, The MC5, The Stooges and The New York Dolls before moving to New York City for college. Blown away by Television at CBGB’s, she became part of the scene, befriending Samo (Jean Michel Basquiat’s tag at that time) and starting to write songs and play bass. Punk’s DIY attitude, rock & roll, funk, free jazz, dub, reggae and the new hiphop scene all became part of her musical language. She was the bass player in Brooklyn's all-female reggae band Sistren before she formed FaithNYC, which became part of Vernon Reid's Black Rock Coalition. Drummer Fin Hunt is a native New Yorker and a veteran of bi-coastal music scenes. He has played with The Invaders, Rosie Rex and the Cuchifritos, Walter Lure, The Gashounds and has toured with The Washington Squares and Levi and the Rockats. He is also a recording engineer with credits on Milk and Honey by John Lennon and Yoko Ono - and worked at A&R recording (with legendary producer Phil Ramone) and the Power Station. Guitarist Charles Nieland has performed with and produced artists such as Debbie Harry, Rufus Wainwright and Susan Hwang. He is a singer-songwriter in his own right, and leads his own solo project and well as founding dream pop innovators Her Vanished Grace.
