ARTS FOR LABOR: Dawn Tallman

Posted September 13, 2021

Dawn Tallman, The Queen of Gospel Energy was born and raised in Danbury, Connecticut, where she began singing in the house of God from childhood. Later, she expanded her body of work into the R&B and Dance scenes. Dawn's voice and style have been compared to those of many great vocalists, like Chaka Khan, Karen Wheeler and Oleta Adams, yet her style is completely & audibly her own. Dawn has recently performed at SOUTH BY SOUTHWEST, the nation's premier live music event with her electrifying show, 'House Unplugged with Dawn Tallman and Friends.' This show also enjoyed a SOLD OUT night at the Apollo Music Cafe in the world famous Apollo Theater, Harlem, NY.

She has scored Billboard chart success with Bob Sinclar on the #1 international hit, FEEL THE VIBE and won the International Dance Music Award (IDMA) for Best House/Garage/Deep House Track. Her own rendition of the 80's Womack & Womack track TEARDROPS scored a top 10 Billboard Dance position. Dawn’s long awaited full length album entitled FOR ME is produced by Honeycomb Music boss Josh Milan. Dawn has toured throughout the EU and appeared before 200,000 in Milan for Radio Italia Live performing FEEL THE VIBE with Bob Sinclair. Clubs and Radio were the focus which surely helped to secure their #1 result and a Gold Record for sales. She also collaborates with Chris "Big Dog" Davis and a variety of other musicians. She is not to be missed!
