From the streets of Tehran to the global electronic dance music (EDM) mainstage, DJ Lady Faith has carved a path defined by resilience, passion, and a deep commitment to her craft. A leading figure in the Hardstyle genre, she has steadily built her reputation through electrifying performances and a dedication to pushing musical boundaries. Now, with the release of her highly anticipated debut album, UNTAMED, Lady Faith reaches a new milestone, solidifying her impact on the industry.
From Cultural Roots to the Global Stage
Born in Tehran, Iran, Lady Faith’s upbringing was shaped by a rich cultural heritage. Her journey took a transformative turn when she immigrated to the United States as a child and found an entirely new lifestyle and musical landscape. This transition broadened her artistic horizons and provided a foundation for the distinctive sound she would later develop. Navigating cultural shifts and personal challenges, she found solace in music, using it as a medium to express her experiences and emotions.
A Defining Moment: The Discovery of Hard Dance Music
Lady Faith’s career took a decisive turn when she attended a performance by British electronic DJ Lisa Lashes in Los Angeles. Seeing a female artist command the stage in a male-dominated industry was a pivotal moment that inspired her to pursue her passion for Hardstyle. This experience reinforced her belief in the unifying power of music and set her on a path to establish herself as a force in the dance music scene, firmly focused on elevating the growing Hard Dance movement.
Breaking Barriers in a Competitive Industry
As one of the few notable female artists in Hardstyle, Lady Faith faced industry skepticism early in her career. Rather than letting obstacles deter her, she used them as motivation to refine her skills and develop a signature sound that blends high-energy beats with a bold yet artistically feminine vision. Her relentless drive has led her to perform on some of the world’s biggest stages, earning respect and recognition within the global Hard Dance community.
Introducing “UNTAMED”: A Bold New Chapter
Lady Faith’s debut album, UNTAMED, marks a significant milestone in her career. Released on February 28, 2025, through the prestigious Dutch label Scantraxx, the album showcases her evolution as an artist. Featuring collaborations with Angerfist, KELTEK, T78, and JDX, as well as vocals by Lexy Panterra, UNTAMED spans multiple electronic subgenres, including Hardstyle, hardcore, techno, and club beats. Tracks such as “Energy,” “Goddess Mode,” and “Lights Out” highlight her dynamic production style and ability to merge intensity with melodic vocals intricately layered with signature hard dance elements.
“I’ve wanted to write an album like this for my entire career! To create something that breaks boundaries and brings an unbridled approach to this wildly unique sound that I’ve been advocating for since my career began. It’s been a long road to get here, and I’m so excited to share something with my fans that has put this much thought and effort into all the details our community loves in this music, and showcases the different sounds of bass music all in one album. UNTAMED has it all and I can’t explain how thrilled I am to share it with everyone”
Major Career Achievements
Over the past decade, Lady Faith has performed at premier festivals, including 13 consecutive appearances at EDC Las Vegas and sets at Europe’s massive bass music festival, Defqon.1. Her dedication to live performance and connection with audiences has helped shape the Hardstyle scene in the United States, inspiring a new generation of fans and artists alike.
The Underground Scene & Defining Moments
Lady Faith’s journey has not been without challenges. One particularly memorable moment occurred during an underground event in Los Angeles, which was unexpectedly interrupted by a police raid. As a burgeoning sound of dance music early on, many of her initial shows were off the radar locations and venues not usually known for her type of music. Rather than discouraging her, the experience reinforced her dedication to her fanbase, known as “The Faithful,” and underscored the unbreakable spirit of the growing Hard Dance community.
Looking Ahead: Expanding the Hardstyle Movement
As she moves forward, Lady Faith remains committed to fostering inclusivity in the EDM industry. She aims to inspire and mentor emerging artists, particularly women, and continue expanding the reach of Hardstyle music worldwide. With hopes of one day finding line-ups that equitably highlight not only the female DJs against the men, as well as placing hard dance artists on main stages. With her long-standing career already known, her growing influence amongst her peers has become a benchmark for which others have grown to respect, and has placed her in larger events as years go on, further shaping the genre’s future.
“UNTAMED” – Now Streaming Worldwide
Lady Faith’s debut album, UNTAMED, is now available on all major streaming platforms. With an exclusive album launch event at Academy LA planned to celebrate its release, the album and subsequent future events are promising to be an immersive, audio-sensory experience for her fans. As she continues to push boundaries and innovate within Hardstyle, UNTAMED stands as a testament to her journey, artistry, and dedication to the music that has defined her career.
