IDAHO FALLS \u2014 From the time she was little, 23-year-old Addy Faith has always been obsessed with music. While listening to early 2000s tunes, she\u2019d rewrite the lyrics in what she called \u201cspinoff\u201d songs to say what she wanted to say.<\/p>\n

But around 2019, the Idaho Falls resident started taking music seriously. At 17 years old, she made her first album for her high school senior project. Now, years later and many releases past it, Faith said her alternative pop music still tells her story.<\/p>\n

\u201cI try and turn all my experiences into something I can create into art,\u201d Faith said. \u201cSo when my sister passed away in 2022, I made an entire album basically describing what the grief was through me and two separate characters.\u201d<\/p>\n

Faith said one album she\u2019s been working on relates to childhood trauma, developing borderline personality disorder and the struggles that go along with it. Her music also covers bullying, helping others\u2019 mental health and learning to take care of herself along the way.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverything about my music has always been \u2014 this is what I\u2019ve been through, this is what I did to fix it. It might not have been healthy, but I did it, and I\u2019m still here, and I\u2019m still kicking, and I\u2019m still Addy Faith,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Faith said she doesn\u2019t make her music all alone. Her unique sound is also due to her producers, Giovi Castillo and Brandt Moon, who co-own Giovi\u2019s Garden<\/a> in Idaho Falls.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere (are) just little things in there that I notice, and I know that my audience will notice as well that will make every song special because Brandt and Giovi touched it,\u201d Faith said.<\/p>\n

When Faith was first introduced to Castillo, she admits she was reluctant to use him as a producer. At the time, he was primarily producing rap. But after a consultation, she said he rubbed off on her and they\u2019ve worked together since.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt this point, Giovi is one of those people I can go to for almost everything,\u201d Faith said. \u201cWorking on two of the most precious albums to me has definitely forced us to get closer. But I\u2019m not complaining because Giovi definitely is a big light in my life.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd then there\u2019s Brandt, because half of my music would never have the spark, the energy, the life that it does without Brandt,\u201d Faith said.<\/p>\n

Moon also does all of Faith\u2019s pictures, which have made it easier to create the whole rockstar vision she\u2019s wanted.<\/p>\n

Faith said she doesn\u2019t have any upcoming shows, but they are working on releasing several singles in 2026. This will follow the vibes of early 2000s music, as well as an alternative feel similar to that of Billie Eilish and Bring Me the Horizon.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know for a fact that this is going to be the year for music, and this is going to be the year Idaho Falls\u2019 local artists take off,\u201d Faith said.<\/p>\n

Faith said when she\u2019s not making music, she sells Medicare with her insurance license and serves up drinks at Dutch Bros.<\/p>\n
