“She wants to talk listeners through heart-break with every brutally honest verse… and wipe away their tears as one song fades into the next.”
— American Songwriter
Jillian Dawn
Singer-Songwriter
Jillian Dawn is a 24-year-old indie pop singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. Rising from Mansfield, MA, she now lives in Nashville where her style has evolved to dance-driven indie-pop and flares of country and rock. Currently working alongside Nashville’s brightest talent, Jillian recently kickstarted a new chapter with the pop-anthem of the late summer “Watered Down,” and her debut as an original cast member of She Believed She Could, a Nashville-based musical revue. Since her graduation from University of Miami Frost School of Music, Jillian has toured with headlining acts and hit festival stages around the country, all while preparing for her next musical project due this year.
“Dawn is a pop singer, but her singles “Fear of Heights” and “For the Night” highlight the country influences that come from her move to Nashville.” - Boston Globe
