Biography

Sears began her career in 1991 with the album What a Woman Wants to Hear on Warner Bros. Records. The album produced three minor singles. Because of her debut album's poor performance, Sears had decided to leave the country music scene. However, she later received a call from Vince Gill, who had asked her to join his road band as a harmony vocalist.^[1][2] In addition to singing harmony on Gill's 1993 album I Still Believe in You, Sears provided duet vocals on the track "An Out of Control Raging Fire" on Tracy Byrd's 1994 debut album.

In 1994, Sears was signed as the first act on Decca Records' newly-revived country music branch.^[1] Her second album, 1994's Nothin' But Good, was issued on Decca,^[3] and its lead-off single, "Runaway Train", entered the country music charts. Other singles from the album were unsuccessful, however, and Dawn exited Decca's roster not long afterward. A self-titled album was released independently in 2002.

Sears returned to her work as a backup vocalist for Gill.^[3] She has made appearances on several of Gill's albums, including his 2003 compilation Next Big Thing.^[4]
