Dawn Martin is an Irish singer. In 1996, she got her career start in music after being persuaded to enter a local talent contest following a performance at a friend's wedding. Although working full-time as a hairdresser, she continued singing and became a member of a local cabaret band called Us, who performed at weddings and local pubs. Although ranked as an outsider to win, she finished in a respectable ninth place and the song peaked at #24 on the Irish charts. In 2011 she appeared at Eurobash at Panti Bar in Dublin singing her Eurovision entry.
