Real Name: Audrey Faith Perry

Birthplace: Jackson, Mississippi, USA
Occupation: Singer
Sign: Virgo
Death date: N/A
Death reason: N/A
Audrey Faith Perry was born September 21, 1967, in Jackson, Mississippi, to parents Ted and Edna. The daughter of a factory worker and a former bank employee, Faith took her singing abilities to family reunions and gatherings, local rodeos and fairs, church, school -- virtually wherever she had an audience -- while growing up in Star, MS.
It only took a few months in college for Faith to know that she was ready to pursue a career in country music. At the age of 19, she headed to Nashville to realize her dream.
New to Nashville, Faith's first job was at the Country Music Fan Fair, selling t-shirts. Her next job, as a secretary at Gary Morris' publishing company, would eventually lead her to stardom. Caught singing privately (while on the job) by a writer who worked there, Faith was convinced by the writer to do a demo of a song. Gary Morris himself heard Faith's rendition of the song and encouraged her to pursue a singing career.
With a switch in day jobs and ready to take on the music industry, Faith met songwriter Gary Burr. Faith began to sing harmony as a backup singer at Gary Burr's shows, which not only gave her exposure, but helped her perfect her harmony singing and writing, thanks to Gary. It was at one of Gary's shows that a representative of Warner Brothers heard Faith sing.
Signed with Warner Brother Records, Faith's first album, entitled Take Me As I Am, which was released in 1993, sold 2 million copies and spawned such number one hits as "Wild One" (her debut country single) and a rendition of rocker Janis Joplin's "Piece of My Heart".
Two years later she followed up with It Matters To Me, whose production was delayed due to an operation on her vocal chords. The album was certified triple platinum, and spawned such hits as "A Man's Home Is His Castle", about domestic abuse, and the title track which stayed at number one for 3 weeks.
Faith's third album, Faith sold even more than her previous album releases, selling 4 million copies. Her current album, Breathe, has already sold 3 million copies, while her single "This Kiss" has been at number one for several weeks and has received airplay on country music stations, pop stations, and adult contemporary stations around the world.
The singles "Breathe" and "The Way You Love Me" have also been number one for 4-6 weeks.
Recipient of this year's Academy of Country Music Award for Top Female Vocalist and Video of the Year for the single "Breathe", Faith has already received the Academy of Country Music Award for Favorite New Female in 1994; the TNN/Music City News Single of the Year for "This Kiss" in 1998; and named Female Vocalist of the Year in 1999 by TNN/Music City News, among many other awards and honors. This year alone, she was nominated for 5 Academy of Country Music Awards.
Faith performed in the closing ceremonies of the 1996 Summer Olympic Games in Atlanta, sang the national anthem at Super Bowl XXXIV and performed at this year's Oscar ceremony. Not only is she a recent spokesmodel for Cover Girl cosmetics, she also appears in the latest Pepsi commercials. Voted one of People magazine's 50 Most Beautiful People in the World and founder of the Oscar Family Literacy Project, the multi-platinum recording artist is married to country singer Tim McGraw, father of her two daughters, Gracie and Maggie.

Real Name: Samuel Timothy Smith
Birthday: 05/01/1967
Birthplace: Delhi, Louisiana, USA
Occupation: Singer
Sign: Taurus
Death date: N/A
Death reason: N/A
Samuel Timothy McGraw was born May 1, 1967, in Delhi, Louisiana, to Betty Smith (now Betty Trimble) and Tug McGraw. McGraw grew up thinking that trucker Horace Smith, his mother's husband at the time, was his biological father, but discovered who his real father was after finding his birth certificate.
Tim's mother admitted that he was actually the result of a summer romance with then minor league pitcher, Tug McGraw (who went on to play with the New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies).
Raised in Start, Louisiana, a young Tim McGraw was raised with the sounds of country musicians like Charley Pride and Johnny Paycheck, and often took his musical skills to church and school plays. Although McGraw was inspired by music early on, he was also involved in little league and considered pursuing a professional baseball career, taking after his father.
But by the time he was studying at Northeast Louisiana University, he had a change of heart. He always had the voice, but after buying a guitar at a pawnshop, McGraw knew music was his calling. He dropped out of university in 1989 and headed to Music City, incidentally the same day his musical idol Keith Whitely died.
As with most aspiring country stars, McGraw's success in Nashville wasn't instantaneous. After playing gigs at Printers Alley clubs, he finally landed a contract with Curb Records, the label that released Tim McGraw's self-titled album in 1993 -- unfortunately, nobody noticed.
After gaining positive recognition with live performances (especially thanks to his rendition of Steve Miller's "The Joker"), McGraw and his audience were primed for a new release, 1994's single, "Indian Outlaw." The catchy tune with controversial lyrics made a chart-topper of McGraw, despite being banned from radio stations in several states.
On the strength of albums such as 1994's Not A Moment Too Soon and 1995's All I Want -- the latter which spawned the hit single "I Like It, I Love It" -- McGraw became a country music sensation. But it was while on the Spontaneous Combustion tour in 1996 with Faith Hill as the opening act when sparks literally flew between Tim and Faith. The couple got married October 6 of that year.
In 1997, McGraw's Everywhere was released, spawning number one singles like "It's Your Love" (a duet with Faith Hill) and "Just To See You Smile." Everywhere was true to its name, as it crossed over to pop charts, garnered McGraw a slew of awards, and made a veritable star of the singer.
1999 saw the release of the multi-platinum selling A Place in the Sun, introducing the number one single "Please Remember Me" to audiences. McGraw's latest offering, 2001's Set This Circus Down, a year after the release of a Greatest Hits album, proved to be just as magical for McGraw, who is enjoying his reign as the most consistently successful male artist to emerge from country music, at least where overall chart success is concerned.
That's no surprise considering the heap of awards McGraw has stacked up, including at least six ACM Awards and two CMA awards; a Grammy for "Let's Make Love" (another duet with Faith Hill; do you notice a theme?); American Music Awards for Best Country Album for Set This Circus Down and for Favorite Male Country Artist (an honor he has claimed at numerous awards shows); a slew of Radio Music Awards and Billboard Awards; and being named Play..boy's Top Male Performer.
Tim McGraw's wife might have her share of male admirers, but the female audience the cowboy hat-toting singer claims is equally important -- he was even named "Sexiest Country Star" by People magazine, in 2000.
When he's not making women's knees tremble, picking up awards, or performing on tour, Tim McGraw dedicates himself to several organizations through fundraising concerts, like "Swampstock," aimed at raising money for hometown little league, the 2000 USS Cole Fund Benefit, to help the Navy/Marine Corps Relief Society USS Cole Fund, and the 1999 "Bread and Water Tour," raising money for charities within selected communities. The latter occurred while touring on the George Strait Country Music Festival, which McGraw lists among the greatest highlights of his career.
Tim McGraw and fellow country/pop star Faith Hill (and wife of five years) reside just outside Nashville, with their three daughters, Gracie Katherine, Maggie Elizabeth, and the newest addition to the family, Audrey Caroline. |
