A Brief History of Faefyx
Faefyx gets around a bit. Born in the southeast of England, they moved to Wales at a young age. They completed a BA in English Literature with Creative Writing at Bangor University in North Wales before eventually emigrating to upstate-New York in 2014 to work on an MA in Liberal Studies at SUNY Albany. In 2016 they moved to Atlanta, Georgia, where they live with their family.
Faefyx is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns. LGBTQ+ advocacy is an important part of their work and life, and Fafeyx previously served on the board of the PFLAG Johns Creek Chapter.

Occasional Musician
Having started playing the piano at age five, you might have thought that was enough for them. But Faefyx now collects instruments and enjoys playing different ones at inopportune moments. They currently play piano/keyboard, clarinet, saxophone, guitar, bass, flute, cornet, and a couple of other things. They enjoy finding or receiving older instruments on the cheap that need some love and care and providing them just that. Their current piano is an 1886 upright from Chicago and they are restoring a Menzenhauer chord zither from the early 20th Century (last updated December 2022).
They were part of a symphonic metal band in university and have started a new musical project with an old friend across 4,000 miles of ocean. Watch this space for more news as it becomes available (but don’t hold your breath, we’re both pretty busy).
