Dawn Bennett

Dawn Bennett is an American keyboardist, sampler, disk jockey, and sometimes vocalist for Kairos.

Personal Life
Dawn was born on November 18, 1986 and raised in Long Beach, California where she began learning keyboards, DJ techniques and recording procedures. During high school, she self-produced a few tracks and became the DJ for her high school dances. She attended San Francisco State University where she met Marcus Rivera who introduced her to Kairos. She joined in 2007 and helped them finish their first album. She is currently in a relationship with Marcus.

Style and Influences
As a child, Dawn was forced by her parents to play piano, which she initially hated. She then discovered gothic metal and other similar genres like Neue Deutsche Harte, and began incorporating her playing into these types of music. A friend introduced her to turntables, which she liked to play, but disliked how they were usually used in music. She was about to drop them when she heard Slipknot's self-titled album and heard Sid Wilson's DJ work, which she was very impressed by. In high school she produced a few tracks herself, and also included vocals. In Kairos, all of her talents are used together. Brian has even stated that she saved the band: "She knew exactly what to do. We really were too ambitious for our first album and would not have pulled through if she hadn't joined."
