[edit] History
Dam Bi has previously appeared in music videos for Paran and MYV and various big name commercials, shooting to stardom with an mp3 player CF in which she unleashed her dance moves opposite Poppin' Hyun Joon. The buzz around her was so high, MSN Japan made the unprecedented move to give her special coverage before her official debut, closely documenting her rehearsals and training. The video documentary ended up attracting 480,000 visitors in just five days. Dam Bi trained with a well-known American choreographer in preparation for her debut album, and her impressive dancing had people referring to her the female version of Rain.
She also starred in MayBee's MV.
[edit] Debut Single
Her debut single, Cry Eye, was produced and composed by Jang Joon Ho, who previously wrote hits such as MC Mong's 180 Degrees and Jang Woo Hyuk's Last Game. The lyrics were provided by Brian Kim, who also wrote Shinhwa's Once In A Lifetime. While the single gathered much attention, it was not a big hit as the hype had suggested.
[edit] Mini Album
After training in the United States after Cry Eye, Son Dam Bi returned to Korea and released a mini album, Son Dambi Mini Album Vol.1, with a focus on electronica (departing from her previous style of crunk pop) on April 29, 2008. The lead title was Bad Boy, produced by Brave Brothers. Dam Bi was the first artist outside of YG Entertainment that had his/her album produced by this team.
