Faith Yang (traditional Chinese: 楊乃文; simplified Chinese: 杨乃文; pinyin: Yáng Nǎiwén, born March 2, 1974 in Taipei, Taiwan) is a rock musician and fashion model. She grew up in Sydney, Australia and studied biology and genetics at Sydney University.
After graduating from Sydney University Faith returned to Taiwan to start a music career. She soon gained a cult following in the university and pub circuit in Taiwan while touring with her backing band - Monster. In 1996 she signed with Magicstone records. Her first two albums are heavily influenced by the Australian pub rock style, with a gothic undertone noticeable in tracks such as “Silence”, “Fear” and “Monster”, while her third album has a lighter pop style, with only hints of the anger evident in the first two recordings. All three albums were huge hits in Taiwan and in 2000 Faith won the Taiwan Golden Music awards for Best Female Performer and Best Album.
Faith did not renew her contract with Magicstone, claiming the label had become too commercial for her style of music. In 2004 it was reported that she had signed with Sony label Silver Fish Records, but no new albums have been produced so far.
Faith also works as a fashion and cosmetics model for companies such as Rado and Neutrogena, as well as continuing to tour on the Taiwan pub circuit. She has also considered a number of acting roles. In 2000 Faith played a lead part in the web movie “175 Degrees of Colour Blindness (175度色盲)”, a 20 part flash movie made especially for release on the internet.
