[edit] Background and Release of EP

After finishing her GCSEs in Pembrokeshire, Duffy returned to Nefyn when she was 15, and started singing in various local bands. Following an unsuccessful music project in Switzerland, Duffy returned to Wales in 2003 and was invited to appear on Wawffactor, a Welsh television show similar to Pop Idol on local station S4C. She was expected to win, but came second to winner Lisa Pedrig.[3]

In 2004 Duffy recorded the three song EP, which was then released by Awen records in the same year. The release of this EP and her appearance on WawFfactor had garnered herself a popular name among the Welsh speaking community of Wales.[4] The EP's title is the full name of Duffy, and was also released under the name Aimee Duffy it was after the EP's release that she decided to use the stagename Duffy professionally.
