Manifest Frequency

Biography

Manifest Frequency is a TripHypnotic fusion of classic-rock influenced melodies with bass driven hooks and ambient, ethereal vocals. The debut album, Deconstructing Frequency, takes you from vulnerable introspection to courageous defiance while the sexiest of grooves keeps you hanging on until the last note.

MFQ is the brain-child of Dawn Cook (Dr. Dawn), who is the only "official" member of MFQ. However, she has created a strong collective of like-minded, "on-call" musicians when a full band performance is demanded!

When playing solo, the creative use the real time recording with live looping, visual effects, and strong musician-ship brings MFQ to life. Although, depending on the venue, Dawn may simply play acoustic guitar with alternative song arrangements.

Until January 2007, Dr. Dawn worked as both a full-time psychologist and professional musician. Despite her taxing schedule, she managed to gain national attention playing festivals such as SXSW, D-Fest, Atlantis Music Conference, Ladyfest South, Hyperactive Music Fest and notable venues across the country.

However, after a life-changing diagnosis in January 2007 of Multiple Sclerosis, Dawn decided to pursue music with a single-minded focus and began to limit her practice to only special cases as a psychologist. There's nothing like being diagnosed with a deadly disease to wake you up to life!

Dawn coined her alter-ego name, Manifest Frequency, based on principles from Quantum Physic, and from her absolute belief in the healing power of connecting with others. Manifest Frequency is also dedication to the belief that we create our own realities based on the principle of "like attracts like". Thus, what we feel and what we believe, we receive. If we feel it, we can manifest it. A message of hope and belief in possibility pervades the music.

Manifest Frequency's music has drawn diverse fans from folk, alternative rock, jazz and triphop persuasions. Dawn received the 2005 Southern Voice Reader's Choice Award for Best Atlanta Female Musician and was the host coordinator for the 2005 Atlanta GoGirlsMusicFest. As Manifest Frequency, Dawn has finished production of her 1st full length CD, Deconstructing Frequency, with producer/musician, Michael Levine (APC Studios, Atlanta).

Manifest Frequency is all about believing in a better day. It's about creating your own tommorow. It's about hope. It's about loving music. And it's about healing through music.

Manifest Frequency is an open call to challenge the norm. It's an education. It's a challenge against mediocrity. And it's encouragement to all who have ever felt different and are tired of apologizing for it! It's also a message that sometimes the worst thing we think can happen, ends up being the best thing – that sometimes it is necessary to fully become who one is supposed to be. It's a lesson in honesty and willingness to use the self as an example to help others.
