Who is dawn richard

Now, you can go online. My grandmother had a PhD in library science, so I lived in a library. When I fell in love with an artist, I enveloped myself. My entire independent career flourished because of living in a library and research that I did in theology, mythology, and understanding the dynamics of art.

But we had no clue whether it would work or not. You can dictate your moves based off all the trends now. If we had social media, he might not have even done Dirty Money. Maybe we would have had Black Twitter fight for us a little bit. I have to be able to understand the trends to even know where to maneuver to get to my own fan base. We have a small family [of fans], and that small family is the only thing funding us. Every day research, every day failing and getting up and trying it again.

Most artists get to think about just their art. I was my own PR, my own booker, my own everything. I had to be great in my art, but also then I had to learn how to build my structure. How do I finance a tour? How do I route a tour? The hardest thing about being [an independent] artist is how to invest in yourself but get return. You got to figure out how to pay all your people in the venue, and you want to make sure your show is great.

I never did shows with just a DJ. I had dancers. I did not sleep, but I learned how to do creatively incredible things. Do I miss the funding? Hell yes. Do I miss getting up and just having to hit my mark?

I was very grateful for the money and being able to be a part of something that felt bigger than me. I know that I worked so hard that I was hospitalized maybe two or three times. When I think about that, even though independence may seem isolated, I would [encourage] artists who want to try it to try it.
