[edit] Childhood
Bethany started playing guitar at age 10. 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 [1].
[edit] Music career
Despite a heavy touring schedule, 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 Dillon yet again to produce an eleven track album, all of which was written or co-written by Dillon.
Dillon appears on the Music inspired by the Chronicles of Narnia soundtrack, singing "Hero". One track from Imagination, entitled "Dreamer", is featured in the end credits for the film of the same name (Dreamer). A music video was created for this song, using clips from the film.
Dillon's most recent album, entitled Waking Up, was released on April 3, 2007.
Dillon is engaged to contemporary Christian artist and worship leader Shane Barnard of Shane & Shane. [1]
