Dahlia’s music is eclectic, featuring catchy hooks, heart-felt lyrics and memorable melodies.

Currently, Dahlia is a member of the Dirt Road Angels and is busy performing with them. She is also a busy vocal coach and studio session singer and is enjoying active rotation on many radio stations and podcasts. Her newest creation is called "Full Circle". When she’s not writing, performing, or promoting her music, she makes time for family and has fun with her daughters Jasmine and Jade, who are showing a natural affinity for music! Dahlia looks forward to a lifetime of making music! *** You can buy Dahlia's music here: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/artist/dahlia-wakefield/id29056780 *** Bands: Dahlia & The Value Villains and Dirt Road Angels, Singer-Songwriter, Vocal Coach & Session Singer from Edmonton, Alberta ~ www.dahliawakefield.com ~
