Early life and Career Beginnings
Audrey Faith Perry was born in Ridgeland, Mississippi, north of Jackson. She was adopted as an infant and given the name Audrey Faith Perry. She was raised in the nearby town of Star, 20 miles southeast of Jackson by her adoptive parents, Edna and Ted Perry in a devout Christian environment with their two biological sons.
In 1988, she married music publishing executive Daniel Hill not to be confused with Canadian musician Dan Hill
A co-worker heard Hill singing to herself one day, and soon the head of her music publishing company encouraged her to become a demo singer for the firm. She supplemented this work by singing backup vocals for songwriter Gary Burr, often performing his new songs at Nashville's Bluebird Café. During one of those performances, Martha Sharp, an executive at Warner Bros. Records, was in the audience and, impressed by Hill's voice, began the process of signing her to a recording contract.
In 1994, she and Daniel Hill divorced shortly after the release of her album
