Who is Mariah Faith?        

Mariah Faith Drocella was born in Baltimore and moved to Conway, South Carolina near Myrtle Beach at age 8 due to her late step-dad’s behest. She called him her “No. 1 supporter” and best friend, so when he suddenly passed away from a heart attack in April of 2019, it left a big void in her life.

As a result, Mariah turned to alcohol, but managed to reach 10 months of sobriety in December 2020. She and her mom still remember the special moments they shared with her step-dad, and Mariah wears a necklace with a photo of him and her 6 year old sister – they share a birthday too.

The 21-year-old hairstylist gave a spirited performance of Vince Gill’s “Whenever You Come Around” in memory of her stepdad for the American Idol audition. His dedication to helping her and her family move closer to Nashville earned him her gratitude.

Fortunately, she gained the approval of all three judges who gave her the chance to go to Hollywood in pursuit of the AI crown, as well as open for Season 20 runner-up HunterGirl and the eventual winner, Noah Thompson, in Nashville.
