Let's make this birthday one to remember.

54 years old (Born on April 30, 1971)

Happy Birthday, Carolyn Dawn Johnson! From crafting hits like "Single White Female" for Chely Wright to charming us all with your own debut album *Room with a View*, you've proven that talent and humor go hand-in-hand. Your melodies have been the soundtrack of countless road trips, breakups—and yes—even karaoke nights we'd rather forget.

Here's hoping this birthday brings you as much joy as winning those Juno Awards did (minus any awkward acceptance speeches). Keep writing songs we can't stop humming; after all these years, you're still our favorite musical storyteller—single white female or otherwise. Cheers!
