She may be a girl from the suburbs, but Faith Julija has proved she
can mix it with the best from the bush.
The country singer from Cecil Hills has bootscooted her way home
after making a big impact at her first Tamworth Country Music Festival
She was not only a finalist in a talent contest, but got herself into the Guinness Book of World Records!
Faith regulary performs in clubs all over Sydney but last month she took her first step towards her dream of making it in county music by heading to Tamworth.
Faith performed on stage in the Hands of Fame Park, singing and wowing onlooking crowds.
"I went through as one of the finalists" she said. "there were 60 performers. I always get nervous."
She also took part in breaking the world record for the largest country line dance, alongside 6000 others. She began singing and performing as a child.
"I started singing lessons at 10 and performing" she said.
Faith said she was steered into country music by her supporters.
"Over the years I always sang a bit of country and every time I would sing country people would encourage me more along that field" she said.
"And I kept learning and perfecting. I didn't want to go to Tamworth until I was ready."
Faiths biggest accomplishment was being selected as one of the 12 finalists in the Fan Land Star Search against more than 60 entertainers.
In preparation for next year Faith has begun guitar lessons and honing her skills as a songwriter.
