Dawn Richard

As a founding member of Danity Kane, Dawn Richard has explored the ins and outs of commercial pop music. As a solo artist, over the span of six critically acclaimed Dawn Richard full-length albums, she treats Louisiana Creole culture, New Orleans bounce, and Southern Swag as elemental, allowing her to weave in and out of house, footwork, R&B, and more. As she proudly proclaimed on her 2021 album Second Line: “I am the genre.” On her most recent albums, Quiet in a World Full of Noise and Pigments, collaborations with multi-instrumentalist and producer Spencer Zahn, she and Zahn meld an orchestral fusion of neoclassical, ambient, and jazz, both albums receiving a multitude of critical accolades which brought them to perform at the London Jazz Festival in two successive years.  Dawn is currently working on her next Dawn Richard full length album, scheduled to be released in 2026.
