Dayna Manning was born and raised to musical parents in Stratford, Ontario and was discovered while singing on open-mike night at Lee's Palace in Toronto by Honeymoon Suite keyboardist Ray Coburn. Coburn became her manager and produced her 1997 EMI debut album, 'Volume 1', between his duties as keyboardist for Alannah Myles and Honeymoon Suite. The album was mixed by The Odds' Steven Drake. Her quick rise to local prominance in Toronto led to a placement on Sarah McLachlan's first Lilith Fair tour in August 1997.
