Dawn Richard wurde am 5 August 1983 in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA geboren. Sie ist Schauspielerin und Komponistin, bekannt für Kinky (2018), The Reunion und Issac.
Dawn draws anime, 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 then decided it would be the name of the group.
