About — The artist
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 20 July 2010.
Jenny Charlesworth of The Georgia Straight noted influences from the rhythm and blues of singers such as Ann Peebles, Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway. Ford also credits her free spirit to her parents (her father was a conscientious objector who moved to Canada), who were strong influences on her way of writing songs.
The album Obadiah takes its name from her middle name. When she was born, her parents asked her siblings to choose her middle name; they decided on it because their pet cat, Obadiah, had recently gone away.
She currently lives in Vancouver.
