Frazey Ford is a Canadian singer-songwriter. She was a founding member of The Be Good Tanyas. Her solo debut Obadiah was released on Nettwerk on July 20, 2010.[1]
Jenny Charlesworth of The Georgia Straight wrote that a few of the songs "swing with a mellow neo-soul beat enlivened by buttery vocals", and noted influences from rhythm and blues singers Ann Peebles, Roberta Flack, and Donny Hathaway.[2] Ford also credits her free spirited parents (her father was an American conscientious objector who moved to Canada), and being a mother as strong influences on her songwriting.[3][4]
Obadiah takes its name from Ford's middle name "Obadiah". When she was born, her parents asked her brothers to choose her middle name; they decided to name her after their pet cat Obadiah that had recently run away.[5]
Ford was raised in the Kootenays in Southeastern British Columbia, and Toronto.[4][6] She currently resides in Vancouver.[3]
