Fanti was born in Petrópolis on October 20, 1978. In 1999 he founded Hermes & Renato alongside his friends Marco Antônio Alves, Adriano Silva, Felipe Torres and Bruno Sutter; he briefly attended an advertising course in college before asking for a leave of absence to dedicate himself solely to Hermes & Renato. Known for their off-color humor, frequently reliant on pop culture references, they amassed a strong cult following throughout the late 1990s/early to mid-2000s during their tenure on MTV Brasil. Considered by his peers the group's "leader" and "intellectual mentor", Fanti portrayed some of its most well-known characters, such as the titular "Renato", "Gozo the Clown" (a parody of Bozo), "Padre Gato" ("Hot Priest") and "Blondie Hammett", the guitarist of comedy band Massacration; he also served as one of Massacration's main lyricists/composers alongside Bruno Sutter. Hermes & Renato briefly changed its name to "Banana Mecânica" from 2010 to 2013 after leaving MTV to join RecordTV, recovering the former name after returning to MTV, where they stayed until the channel ceased its activities.

Throughout most of his life Fausto suffered from bouts of depression; his brother Franco Fanti would elaborate that, during his final years, he was "obsessive", "on the verge of paranoia and not taking any antidepressants". According to statements by his acquaintances, his mental state was also further negatively affected following his separation from his wife, Karla Peixoto Sento Sé, in early 2014, with whom he had a daughter, Nina (8 years old at the time of his death); they married in 1997. On July 30, 2014, he was found dead on his bathroom at his apartment in the bairro of Perdizes, West Zone of São Paulo, with a belt around his neck, by his wife and his Hermes & Renato colleagues Adriano Silva and Marco Antônio Alves; the attorney investigating the case stated that, "without a doubt", it was a suicide. In a statement to news portal R7.com, a close friend of Fanti's who asked to remain anonymous would compare his death to the case of Charlie Brown Jr. vocalist Chorão, who also sunk into depression following his separation from his companion and had died following a cocaine overdose the year prior.

His wake was held at the Cemitério do Araçá, and his body was later taken to be buried at his hometown of Petrópolis. Franco eventually replaced Fausto on Hermes & Renato when it went to FX in 2015; in 2019 he stated that he himself had been diagnosed with bipolar II disorder, and began using his social media to chronicle his struggles with mental illness.
