"Dare to dream. Dare to be original. Dare to do it your way. Never give up. The only way you ever fail is if you fail to try. It has taken me a life time to have the time to turn my attention fully to my writing. I know now, I will never go back. " After the first large performance in Louisville Kentucky, Donna Dalton knew she was hooked, "Its like sky diving, once your out of the plane, there is no going back" Although Donna has written lyric all of her life and recorded a few through the years, it is only now that Donna has the time and maturity to handle such a business as music. She has overcome much let down and heart ache in this business over the years, and refers to herself as an "over life" success. "This business is shark infested waters, and if you are any good, you are lunch" Coming from a small town in Indiana, she grew up poor, with no contacts in the music business, she has truly paved her own way. Donna Dalton has faced and conquered much abuse in her life time, starting with sexual abuse as a child. "Writing is my sanity, without it I am certain I would not be alive today". "You will find your people, but first you have to wander through the darkness, just know they are there waiting for you and they will know you when they see you, though it may take a while for you to know them. You are being lead and guided, so keep going." Donnas song, on her first album Just Be You, titled "That's What I Believe" is being recognized by Empower music at the 2017 POSI awards. "What an honor, I cannot believe it is actually happening. I have God Bumps all over!" "So far, this business has cost me much more than it has made me, but how do you put a price on what makes life worth living. Lyric is given to me from the universe, I owe the universe to get it out there. I am humbled and so very thankful to all of you who will spend your hard earned money on my songs, you don't know it, but your helping me to record the next song that wakes me up in the middle of the night. THANK YOU
