Faithless has been hitting all over the world in the past with songs like insomnia And the God DJ. obedience Maxi Jazz singer, producer Rouleau, DJ and pianist Sister Bliss released their debut album in 1996. That was the year after Faithless was founded.
The band has performed at some of the biggest festivals in the world. In 1999, Faithless came to the Netherlands to perform at Pinkpop. This edition of the festival went down in the books because of the earthquake the visitors caused by the group’s music at the time.
