Dawen is a singer-songwriter based in Los Angeles.

With what MTV Iggy calls, “an eclectically soulful style,” soul/r&b singer Dawen explores the gamut of American life.  Fusing soul/r&b with funk and jazz, Dawen offers up a lyrical style that appeals to both the emotions and intellect. His smooth baritone and sensual falsetto recall the vocal stylings of Maxwell and Sade to the delight of audiences everywhere.

In his debut album American Me, Dawen covers everything from identity and social issues, to love, loss and redemption. American Me is available now on iTunes and Amazon. The music video for his single “Wake Up” is on YouTube.

Dawen has performed for Grammy Award-winning artist Macy Gray and has shared the stage with artists such as Judith Hill, Marié Digby, and slam poets Beau Sia and Kelly Zen-Yie Tsai. Dawen is currently working on a new EP slated for release in Spring of 2012.
