Faith's first foray into music began when she mimicked famous soul and jazz singers including Etta James and Billie Holiday, whom she admires and cites as influences for her own work.[6][9] She met her managers Jamie Binns and Christian Wåhlberg of Lateral Management in 2007.[10] Binns had been tipped off by the producer Peanut, a client who had recently worked with Faith in his studio and been impressed.[11] He met up with Faith shortly afterwards and was "completely blown away", later saying, "I wasn't sure what this girl was going to do – she was an actress and a singer – but there was just something about her in that artistic realness that when I came out of the meeting I called Christian and said, 'We have to do something with this girl!'"[11]
During her time at college, Faith worked in a pub where the manager asked her to front his band, which they later called Paloma and the Penetrators.[12] During a performance with the band at a cabaret show, she was scouted by an A&R man from Epic Records, who invited her to sing for the manager of the label.[12] 20 minutes into the audition, she asked the manager to turn his phone off; when he refused, she walked out.[12][13] The manager later called her and offered her a contract, claiming that he had seen many acts since their meeting but none had been as memorable as her.[12] She turned down an opportunity to join Amy Winehouse's band in order to write and perform her own songs.[14] Her first recognised work was the song "It's Christmas (and I Hate You)", which she recorded as a duet with Josh Weller in 2008.[15]

Faith was also cast in Terry Gilliam's The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus as Sally, the girlfriend of the Devil (played by Tom Waits) in 2009.[74] She also appeared in the horror film Dread as Clara Thornhill. She later starred in the Channel 4 series Coming Up and the short film A Nice Touch. Of getting the part, she stated "I don't think they even knew I was an actress.

During an episode of The Voice UK, Faith claimed she once read an article that called music artist KT Tunstall old despite being only 27 at the time.

In August 2016, it was revealed that Faith was expecting her first child with long-term boyfriend Leyman Lahcine.[87] She gave birth to a daughter in December 2016,.[88] She gave birth to a second daughter in February 2021.[89][90] In an October 2023 interview with The Independent, Faith stated that she had split from Lahcine after a 10-year relationship, but would not confirm that they had been married.[73]
