Raised in Florida, and born in Logan, West Virginia, Dawn grew up in Pentecostal churches, the daughter of a Music Minister. At 16, she wrote her first song, and songwriting soon became her passion, and eventually her profession.
She developed her skills at ORU, majoring in Music Composition. While attending ORU, she was called upon to play the organ for the live Richard Roberts TV show, which aired daily on national Christian networks. Eventually, she began writing songs for Richard and the television singers. Eager to get started in the music industry, she left the university before graduating, and eventually moved to Nashville, TN.

She was in Nashville for seven years writing for McSpadden Music Publishing company, and worked with prominent gospel mogul, Gary McSpadden.
The partnership was successful, and her songs were recorded by several well known Inspirational and Southern Gospel recording artists, like Sandy Patti, Larnelle Harris, The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir, and others.
As a writer, she would often record and sing her own demos with the help of producer, Scott Sherrif.
In the early 90s, she was signed to Elektra Records as a pop artist, under the management of Dan Cleary. In 1993, the album was produced by the legend, Tommy Lipuma, engineered by the legend, Bill Schnee, and finally completed. The demos were better received by most than was the album, however, and although $500,000 dollars was spent on the project, the album was never released. A little heartbroken, Dawn continued writing songs successfully, and moved back to Nashville, TN, where she was signed to write for Hamstein Publishing, during which time, she legally changed her name to Constant Change.
She explains the name change as a moment of insanity and a reaction to the loss of the record deal, but three of her songs, If Im Not In Love for Faith Hill, and Greater Need & By My Side for Lorrie Morgan, were released by that name.
Her songs have also been recorded by Earth, Wind & Fire, Anita Baker, and James Ingram, and others.
Her most popular songs include: He’ll Do it Again, I Am Not Ashamed of the Gospel, If I’m Not In Love, Hallelujah, Praise the Lamb, & By My Side.
In the early 2000’s, she moved to Pensacola, FL where she writes, records, and produces from her home studio. She has also become an ordained minister, teaching and sharing the Word of God on various occasions. In 2023, she completed her degree, and was awarded a Bachelor of Science degree.
