Gwen Stefani Music Career

Gwen was introduced to 2 Tone music by Madness and the Selecter by her brother Eric, who then asked her to sing for the ska band he was starting, No Doubt, in 1986. The band joined Interscope Records in 1991.

The group's self-titled debut album was released in 1992, but grunge's popularity made its ska-pop sound unpopular.

Stefani provided guest vocals for "Saw Red" on Sublime's 1994 album Robbin' the Hood, which was released before No Doubt and Sublime achieved mainstream popularity.

Debbie Harry, the lead singer for the band Blondie, was a major influence on Stefani. Debbie Harry rejected the aggression of female grunge artists and was cited as a major inspiration.

It took No Doubt more than three years to complete their third album, Tragic Kingdom (1995), which came after their independently released The Beacon Street Collection (1995).

Tragic Kingdom produced five singles, including "Don't Speak," the number-one song on the Hot 100 Airplay year-end list for 1997.

Stefani took a semester out from school to tour with Tragic Kingdom, but she did not come back after the tour lasted 2.5 years.

By 2004, more than 16 million copies of the album had been sold globally and it had received a Grammy nomination. She was dubbed "the Queen of Confessional Pop" in the late 2000s issue of Rolling Stone magazine.
