Vibrant, genuine and soulful, Dawn Pemberton has deep musical roots that take her powerful voice from gospel and soul to jazz, funk and world music.  She has become a staple of the Vancouver music  scene  and  can  often be found  tearin’ it  up  as   a vocalist, teacher, facilitator, choir director and hired gun for live and studio performances.

A passionate performer, Dawn crafts her music with a sense of adventure, quirkiness, and serious groove and shapes it into her own unique and dynamic package. Tight, expressive and bold, Dawn will hit you where it counts, funk you up and make you say “Go ‘head!”
