‘The Dawning’ album release signals a triumph in the Sri Lankan and Singapore arts scene; in which Dawn Jay has grown from an ambitious young singer to an accomplished songwriter. The intimate live performance will comprise of Dawn Jays personal songs of love, heartbreak, perseverance and success- written in both English and Sinhalese.
With the success of his music videos ‘Time’ and ‘Last Chance’ both shot entirely in Singapore, Dawn Jay has become a mainstay in the local Singaporean scene, and has encouraged collaborations between Singapore and his home country. In addition to inviting fellow local artists The Attic Genesis as the guest opening performers of the night, Dawn Jay will take the night as a chance to promote ‘Singithi Sevana’- An orphanage for underprivileged and abused children in Sri Lanka. Being an only child raised by his father, Dawn Jay has teamed up with Singhiti Sevana and SLNUS to help raise awareness and raise funds for those in need of support of a family back home. Donation boxes will be present at the event and Dawn Jay will speak on how he has managed to overcome difficulties in his life, and how this has evolved his music.
