In this episode of SoCal Soundcheck, I sit down with singer-songwriter Faith Belle to talk about her journey into music, the power of authentic songwriting, and the influences that shaped her sound.

Faith shares how she balances a full-time career in finance while pursuing music, why she refuses to be boxed into a single genre, and how personal experiences have shaped songs like Just Believe. We also dive into her early musical influences, her connection to the legendary Bon Jovi story from her hometown in New Jersey, and the importance of vulnerability in songwriting.

We also talk about the evolving role of social media for musicians, performing live versus studio recordings, and the incredible community of artists involved with Nashville on the Coast.
