From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dawn Angelique Richard (born 5 August 1983) is an American singer, and member of the musical group, Danity Kane.
She was born in New Orleans, Louisiana. Her mother owned a dancing school where Dawn spent much of her childhood developing her skills at choreography and singing. Due to Hurricane Katrina, Dawn and her family now reside in Baltimore, Maryland. Dawn has also released a solo album called "Been a While," which had no releases and didn't chart.
In 2005, Dawn auditioned for the MTV show Making the Band 3 in Orlando, where she was chosen to compete for a spot in Diddy's future girl-group along with Aubrey O'Day, Aundrea Fimbres, Wanita Woodgette (now known as "D. Woods"), and Shannon Bex. Dawn draws manga, and one drawing in particular caught the attention of Diddy. When asked what the character's name was she replied "Danity Kane". It was a female superhero she drew while Danity Kane was in the studio, and to Diddy this represented the girls of Making The Band 3. Diddy decided it should be the name of the group. The name and story were first introduced during Danity Kane's TRL appearance on June 14th, 2006.
