[edit] Childhood
Dillon’s musical career began at the young age of 12, recording an independent album (Vulnerable) that ended up in the hands of EMI executive Brad O’Donnell.
[edit] First album
Her self-titled debut album, released in 2004, was the highest selling female solo debut album for the year and attracted GMA nominations for both Female Vocalist and New Artist of the Year. The radio friendly All I Need reached the coveted number one position on the US charts [citation needed].
[edit] Latest news
Despite a heavy touring schedule, Bethany Dillon released her second album titled Imagination in August 2005 – the CD which prompted CCM Magazine to label her as the ‘future’ of contemporary Christian music.
Ed Cash teamed up with Bethany Dillon yet again to produce an eleven track album, all of which was written or co-written by Dillon.
Bethany also appears on the Music inspired by the Chronicles of Narnia soundtrack, and track one from '‘Imagination'’ is featured in the film ‘'Dreamer: Inspired by a true story’'.
Beth’s sister Kate is married to fellow Sparrow Records recording artist Shawn McDonald.
