Wafah Dufour spent the early part of her life in Los Angeles, then Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, but later moved to Geneva, Switzerland, with her parents. In 1988 her parents separated and finally divorced in January 2006. Her father and his family have reportedly not spoken to either her or her two younger sisters since she was 15 years old. She changed her last name to her mother's maiden name, Dufour.

She earned a law degree from Geneva University and a master's degree from Columbia Law School in New York City. She speaks French (her mother tongue), English, and Persian.

In early 2006, publisher Judith Regan signed Dufour to appear in a reality television show which planned to follow her battle for success in the music industry in a fly-on-the-wall documentary. In the end, the project was canceled due to lingering resentments about the September 11 attacks.

At present, she is recording her first album and she now lives in London. She is also set to collaborate with Atlanta rock band Black Lips.
