“What I love most about playing piano is
REMIXING my favorite songs!”
— Dawn Martin
Born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, music moved Dawn from the start. As a teen, Dawn owned every Marvin Gaye record ever made. At just 13 years of age, not even knowing what a ‘concert’ was—and knowing full well the punishment her VERY STRICT mother would give her—she did something she never thought she’d have the courage to do, and snuck out the house to see Marvin Gaye perform at Cobo Hall in Downtown Detroit.
Dawn excused herself from the person who drove her, and probably looked like a smitten schoolgirl when a tall, commanding Black man sized her up and said, “You’re jailbait…the best I can do is get you in the front row.” And he did. Step by step, he led Dawn closer…and closer, until she was standing at the very EDGE of the stage. The lights, the music, the electricity in the air—Dawn was right there! Then in a moment frozen in time, Marvin Gaye reached out, held Dawn’s hand, and in the huge arena, for 10 to 15 unforgettable seconds, looked into her eyes and sang a part of “Distant Lover” before quickly letting her hand go. Dawn says “That night was a magical memory I will cherish forever. Marvin Gaye remains my favorite singer—there will never be another Marvin Gaye.”
Dawn is a captivating 5'9" multi-talented Natural Beauty whose star presence commands attention and leaves a lasting impression. Her multifaceted artistry continues to inspire and mesmerize audiences around the world.
As a performer, Dawn toured with the band Asian Eyes, sang for U.S. Military Bases, and appeared as a Featured Lead Singer on the NBC TV series Eerie, Indiana. She was also a recurring cast member on Days of Our Lives, and appeared in national commercials, and modeled for both print and runway across the U.S. and Paris, France.
A former repeat Spelling Bee Champion, Dawn attended Catholic school from first grade, then pleaded to her Mother to let her attend public school, where she was promoted from 7th to 9th grade. She left Detroit at 18 and never returned to live again.
Her early poise and confidence won her Michigan’s Model of the Year, a Finalist in Miss Teen USA, and the title of Miss San Francisco, a preliminary to Miss America.
At just 19, Dawn earned her A.A. degree from West Los Angeles College. At age 22, Dawn earned her B.A. in Journalism from California State Dominguez Hills. She went on to attend USC Law School, ultimately deciding to leave after one year—a choice she proudly considers one of her best.
Dawn made legal history when she argued before the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and successfully OVERTURNED a Federal Judge’s ruling. In that same appellate case, she single-handedly litigated against a major Century City, California law firm and a federally appointed U.S. Attorney—and received a FAVORABLE PUBLISHED OPINION from the Appellate Court. Dawn's landmark case is now cited as binding precedent and referenced in law libraries, appellate decisions, and scholarly articles nationwide.
Dawn says, “Prevailing in my stand against injustice remains one of my proudest achievements. There’s a profound sense of fulfillment in reading appellate rulings where my name and case are cited as binding precedent.”
Dawn is the author of the 5-star-rated book Fast Girls Finish Last - A Girl’s Guide to Becoming a Virgin with Attitude! Dawn enjoys playing piano, attending theater, and reading blistering dissents from U.S. Supreme and Appellate Court Opinions. Dawn has been an organic Vegan 23 years. A philanthropist, Dawn proudly supports Opportunity Village, a nonprofit serving individuals with disabilities, and St. Jude’s Ranch for Children, which provides care for abused and neglected youth.
