Pop/country artist Katelyn Dawn has been seen as a finalist on Canadian Idol as well as Canada's Next Top Model. She has been broadening her notoriety by appearing on such television shows to bring more light to the single she is presenting to both the Canadian & American markets.
Hailing from Steinbach, Manitoba, Katelyn recently made the leap to big city life in Toronto Ontario. Katelyn has recently signed to USA Records LLC, a Beverly Hills, California based production company who has molded her raw sound and talent into a commercially viable and radio ready artist for the world to embrace. Her music has the country backbone sound appreciated by both veterans and fans of the genre but it also blends a pop overtone, which broadens her sound and allows her to cross over to more popular audiences. She has been likened by industry tastemakers to such artists as Shania Twain and Feist. This is what makes her sound stand out amongst the plethora of other hopeful independent country musicians. The single “when the coffee’s coldâ€쳌 has been gaining momentum on radio both in Toronto and across Canada.
Starting out in the entertainment business, one could not ask for such a competent dream team that Katelyn Dawn has supporting her career. She is managed by the Canadian based MCJB Company which has a history of handling many notable acts. She is also represented by publicist Aulando Frazier, CEO and founder of the Just Not Famous Enough publicity firm in New York.
Katelyn Dawn has been invited to perform alongside the United States born ‘Just Not Famous Enough Awards’ promotional tour taking place throughout Canada this summer. Katelyn has displayed her skill in front of millions of viewers during her much publicized run on the popular entertainment show. The appearances have allowed her to garner thousands of new admirers, which in turn lead them directly to her interactive Myspace.com profile

Do you play live?

It makes music more accessible to more people and it also gives unknown artists an equal opportunity to get their music out there.
