Dawn Richard

On 26 March 2021, Dawn Richard was a guest on NTS & HBO Present Tina Turner: Rulebreaker; on 28 August 2020 was a guest on Planet Carnival; and on 8 March 2017 was a guest on Smirnoff Presents International Women's Day. Dawn Richard has been played over 30 times on NTS, first on 24 March 2016. Dawn Richard's music has been featured on 32 episodes.

Dawn Richard has been one of music’s most distinctive voices and songwriters since 2004, as a member of Danity Kane and then Diddy-Dirty Money, releasing the cult R&B classic Last Train to Paris. However, it’s as a solo artist that she’s really soared. 
 Across six solo albums, Richard has honed a style of music that she describes as “genderless and genreless”. A collaborative album entitled Pigments, with bassist/composer Spencer Zahn was released in 2022, and a second collaborative album with Zahn entitled Quiet in a World Full of Noise was released in 2024. 
 Richard released a trilogy of albums known as the “Heart Trilogy,” which showcased progressive pop, ambient, R&B, and dance stylings, while thematically telling stories of redemption, heartbreak, euphoria, curiosity, and disillusionment. These albums were released between 2013 and 2016. Richard’s 2019 album New Breed was her most successful to date. Showcasing her home city New Orleans and the Carnival Indian culture makes her latest album a one of a kind masterpiece. Her vocal and dance ability are matched with her production and songwriting skills making her one of most extraordinary talents of our time. New Breed was named as one of the year’s best albums by Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, Vogue, FACT, LA Times, Spin, Rap Up and many more. Richard continues to push the boundaries of music and visual technology with her videos and live show, becoming the first artist to perform live in 360 on YouTube. She has also released a VR album debuted by WIRED as well as collaborated with her long time partners Adult Swim making her the first black female singer to do so. What makes Richard a unique pop sensation and a phenomenon is that she does this all DIY. Being completely Independent with no label or team she has broken ceilings for women, POC, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and so many others. Dawn Richard is more than just her music, she is a movement.
