Description
When the music industry tries to put you in a box, what do you do? For Fefe Dobson, “Brandy Spears'' was the box industry executives tried to force her into. Referring to a black girl like Brandy with a pop voice like Britney, Dobson knew she would never be successful playing a role that wasn’t true to herself. Instead, she made her mark in music history with her 2003 rock-infused debut album at the age of 18.
In this week’s episode of Name 3 Songs, we sit down with Dobson herself to hear about the challenges she faced over the years in an industry that didn’t know how to handle her. Despite the ups and downs, Dobson remains clear in her passion for creating authentic music. In our exclusive interview, she tells us about the importance of empowering women in music and lets us in on some of the many “blessings” she received over the years like seeing Miley Cyrus perform her song “Start All Over.”

Join Sara Feigin and Jenna Million as they uncover double standards in the pop-punk world, where bands are judged by outsiders for attracting female fans while those in the scene don't seem to bat an eye over it. by Name 3 Songs
