Interview: Fresh and Fab Interviews Dawn Richard!

Hey Guys! It's Akeem Jamal I had the opportunity to interview the fabulous Dawn Richard (of Danity Kane) on Thursday. She's such a sweetheart, I was about an hour late with the interview, so I couldn't record it or get all of you guys' questions answer. But she answered about 15 of them. Stay tuned, this is only the beginning!


P.S. Q was with her when I was doing the interview, so I switched the order in which I posted the questions so it reads better.

Intro / Danity Kane Breakup

Dawn - Hi, How Are You Today?
Akeem - I'm good you?
Dawn - I'm great --
Akeem - Okay, give me a sec [laughter] i'm trying to pull out the questions
Akeem - We all know about the breakup on the last season of the show, after all of that, what's next for Danity Kane?
Dawn - Drea and I are trying to patch this up to move forward with things -
Akeem - Oh ok, so is everything between you ladies squashed?
Dawn - There's nothing to squash, as you can tell from the episode, we said nothing.. it wasn't our decision.
Akeem - Right, have you talked to Aubrey or D. Woods since the break up?
Dawn - No I haven't, but there's no hard feelings to either of the ladies, and I wish them both the best.

Random Questions

Akeem - One of the readers, wanted to know how often do you work out?
Dawn - Actually, I attend dance classes three times a week.
Akeem - Cool...

Akeem - If you could work with any female in the industry, who would it be?
Dawn - Brandy

Akeem - Do you read any of the celebrity blogs in your spare time?
Dawn - No, they usually have something negative say about me, so I try to stay away from them. I like to surround myself with positive things and people.
Akeem - Yeah, I understand.

Akeem - A reader wanted to know if you still had your puppy, chotee.
Dawn - [laughter] - Yes I Do! Chotee is my baby, well actually he's a teenager now
Akeem - [laughter]
Dawn - But yes, I still have Chotee.

Danity Kane Comic / Education

Akeem - We know that there's a Danity Kane comic line coming out, can you let us know what that's about? [Click here to View]
Dawn - It's basically like any other comic, it deals with Sin City, Rock and Roll and it has villian's which are represented by the bosses of the labels -
Akeem - [laughter]
Dawn - It's like a melting pot of all of those things., If you visit my [MySpace] page, you can hear the song "Falls Away*" which is actually on the soundtrack album for the comic.

Dawn - [laughs] Aww, thats love.
Akeem - [laughs] So how did you get into drawing?

Dawn - I went the the University of New Orleans -
Akeem - Cool.. U.N.O... What did you major in?
Dawn - Wait, actually I went to Nicholls State University, I majored in Marine Biology then I transferred [to UNO].

Akeem - If you weren't in the music industry... what would you be doing?
Dawn - Honestly, I couldn't see myself doing anything else but music -
Akeem - What I meant by that, is if you were still in school, what would be doing? Would it still be Marine Biology?
Dawn - I also have a love or fashion, so it would be either be music or fashion, something to do with the indsutry.
