Dawn Dixon was born in Melbourne in 1944. She was an independent self-managed artist/songstress in the 1960s and 1970's era who recorded a couple of singles on the Fable label. Her first release ''Bouzouki'' in 1971 charted at the lower end of the charts. Her second single ''Hand By Hand (Side By Side)'' didn't fare as well. Dawn performed all over Australia and the Asia Pacific Region. Dawn made over 300 TV appearances which included The Graham Kennedy Show, The Mike Walsh Show, I Like Music and The Terry Holden Show. She also served as a performer to the Australian Army troops during the Vietnam war, for which she was nationally awarded and recognised.
