A native of New Jersey, Fay is currently in her first year of studying harp at the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music. She has been playing the harp for eleven years and has received numerous honors and awards. She studied at Interlochen Arts Academy for her last two years of high school and also spent two summers at the Interlochen Arts Camp where she was an Emerson Scholar in 2006. While she was still living in Jersey, Fay participated in several local youth orchestras such as the Philadelphia Sinfonia and the New Jersey All State Orchestra, and also performed with the South Jersey Choral Society. Her father is from Iran and she grew up hearing much of this music but had never had the chance to play any of it before.
