Fawn grew up immersed in the cultural and musical traditions of her parents; her father, Earl Wood, is from Saddle Lake Cree Nation. Her mother, Cindy Jim-Wood, taught her the traditions and Salish chants of the Whonnock and Stl'atl'imx peoples. 

Fawn released her debut solo album in 2012 titled Iskwewak – Songs of Indigenous Womanhood. Fawn was named Best Female Artist at the Native American Music Awards the following year. Her music also earned her Best Hand Drum recording at the 2013 Aboriginal Peoples Music Choice Awards.

Music has become a powerful tool for her to share in the revitalization of the Cree language, inspiring young Indigenous people to develop their cultural practices and keep languages alive. With over a million engagements on TikTok, Fawn has become a social media influencer with a cause. Her Juno win has supported her passion to promote traditional music and Indigenous language.
