about
Fanny "Faye" Matilda Dagmar Hamlin (born October 23, 1987 in Stockholm, Sweden) is a Swedish singer and model. She is one of the original members of the Swedish pop group Play. Faye was selected to be in Play by the band's manager, Laila Bagge. Bagge held a nationwide talent search after finding Anna Sundstrand and Anaïs Lameche and chose Faye and her best friend Rosanna Munter for her new girl group. Faye was considered to be the lead voice of Play and, as a mezzo-soprano, she was often heard singing the melody and doing the ad-libs in songs. Play sold over 1 million albums and toured North America along with popular teen artists, such as A*Teens, Aaron Carter and *NSync. Faye left Play in October, replaced by Janet Leon. Faye (now known by her birth name, Fanny) attended Sweden's best music school, Rytmus, once she had left Play. Since leaving Play, Fanny has done further modeling work and has recorded a duet with Swedish singer Adam Appel, "Ready For Love," that was featured in the soundtrack to the 2004 Swedish documentary film Kärlekens Språk (The Language of Love). In early 2006, Fanny signed with Synk Casting, a Swedish modeling agency and modeled for them. She provides backing vocals for Swedish dance-pop singer Velvet's song "Mi Amore". She sang a cover of the song "Go Your Own Way" in a Swedish MQ commercial in 2007; both the song and commercial can be found on Youtube. Fanny was also involved in a charity single for MQ, a cover of Supertramp's "Give A Little Bit"
