Early life
Born in Toronto, Ontario, Dobson cites musical influences such as Judy Garland and Kurt Cobain, although she might be considered comparable to Alanis Morissette, Ana Johnsson, and Nellie McKay. She trained herself to sing using a karaoke machine her mother got her for her twelfth birthday. Dobson is known for a blend of styles, incorporating her unique voice with heavy electric guitar riffs.
Dobson is biracial: her mother is white of English, Irish, Scottish, Dutch, and Native American descent and her father is Jamaican and Asian. Dobson’s father walked out on the family before she was born; the song “Unforgiven”, on her debut album, explains the emotion she went through. Dobson was the only biracial member of her family growing up, and she had to deal with considerable hate because of her mixed family. In a 2004 MTV interview, Dobson told a story about her older sister being picked on in school because she had a biracial sister.
First Album (self-titled)
Dobson’s first album, Fefe Dobson, was released on December 9, 2003 by Island Records which has sold 304,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Her first two singles, Bye Bye Boyfriend and Take Me Away, were released well before that date. The second single, Take Me Away, received greater airplay than Bye Bye Boyfriend in the United States.
2003-2004

call out hook is the name of a small, 10-20 second sample of a song sometimes released on a single, for use as a ringtone. tens of thousands of artists have a track with that name.
