Brodie Dawson was born in Hamilton, Ontario - ‘The Hammer’ and grew up in an environment that would prove to be her life’s classroom. Her talented father Brent J. Dawson, was at the center of the city's flourishing music scene, a soulful vocalist and harmonica player in the Rock n Roll band ‘The Breeze’, and Brodie grew up with guitars, speakers, amps and a drum kit set up in the basement, evening rehearsals, backyard jams, and her dad’s legendary record collection spinning non-stop. Music Music Music. She absorbed it all and began to develop her own sound. Her style reflects a true love story between life and music that is constantly evolving, and it awakens and stirs up deep emotion in those who are lucky enough to witness it.

And finding her way, she has… She's been turning heads and creating a buzz wherever she goes, leaving her audiences spellbound and full-hearted.
