| Because she is a Canadian teenager who sings pop rock hits, Fefe is often compared to Avril Lavigne. However, Fefe's critics and fans agree that her music is much more mature. Her songs "Take Me Away" and "Everything" will doubtless take her very far. |

| If you are fed up with mass-produced pop tarts, you'll love Fefe Dobson; she wasn't manufactured like so many assembly line teenyboppers. Her music defies categorization and we definitely respect that. |

Felicia Dobson was born in Scarborough, Canada, a suburb of Toronto, on February 28th, 1985. The family had six children who were all born from different fathers. Although her given name is Felicia, she has always been called Fefe.
Her father abandoned the family when Fefe was young and she only saw him sporadically; she stopped talking to him when she was 13. Still, her mother was a dynamic woman and music was a great part of their lives. They were constantly listening to Top 40 radio and music quickly became a creative outlet for Fefe. In fact, most of her childhood was spent at a performing arts community center. She realized early on that she was made for music.
When she was 11, she got a present from her mother: a karaoke machine. After she started singing to Mariah Carey hits, she made herself a demo tape consisting of 24 songs from Selena, Madonna, and Janet Jackson. By the time she had started sending out the tape to record labels, she was already writing her own songs.
During that time, she was so serious about making it in the music business that she didn't understand why she was receiving so many rejection letters. She wanted success so bad, she could taste it.
Fortunately, her drive allowed her to pursue a musical education. She was accepted at Wexford Collegiate Institute, a Scarborough high school renowned for its performing arts program. At the same time, she continued to look for that record company that would make her a star.
In 2000, the music industry was riding on the coattails of teen pop sensations like Britney Spears and Brandy. That same year, when Fefe was only 15, Canadian label Zomba Records took notice of her and signed her.
For the next few months, the label executives had her meeting with a smorgasbord of music producers, all of whom were trying to find a way to mold her into a pop star. The problem was that she had such raw energy, they didn't know how to adapt it to their purpose.
With things not going as she had originally planned, Fefe was totally discouraged. It was so bad that one time she even found herself singing at 8:30 a.m. in a besmirched Toronto bar. However, that performance proved to be the most important of her career to date. |
