Dawson became well known as the female counterpart to Adam Green in The Moldy Peaches.[2] Since the Moldy Peaches went on hiatus in 2004 Dawson has released a string of lo-fi homemade albums and toured widely in North America and Europe.

In 2006 she collaborated with a number of friends to make a group 'Antsy Pants' that recorded and released an album on Plan It X Records.

Dawson's songs are featured in the films "The Guatemalan Handshake" and "Glue," both of which were shown at the Olympia Film Festival in November 2007.[3]

She is currently working on Alphabutt - an album of songs for babies.
