Dawn Dunlap grew up in a small town in central Indiana. Influenced at a very early age by various musical sources, including her mother, a piano player and teacher at a local school, Dawn began singing at Bethany Christian Church at 5 yrs old. Shy, she sang in the middle school choir, but didn't sing solo outside of church, until performing at a Fourth of July festival in high school. Also during high school, Dawn and her family took several family vacations to Nashville. While there, Dawn developed a love of country music. Dawn decided that she would move to Nashville to pursue a music career after completing college. Shortly before graduation, Dawn secured a highly coveted internship at RCA Records on the famed music row. She moved to Nashville soon after completing her degree.
