The season debut of Mixtape Memoir begins with a story of perseverance. Of becoming. A journey of knowing yourself, overcoming the odds and the naysayers, and manifesting your vision to chart your own unique path. Dawn Richard joins the show to share her journey through the music industry. This multi-talented artist is not only an incredibly gifted producer, singer, writer, and dancer, who refuses to be limited to one genre, Dawn also works with Adult Swim as an animator, and runs a vegan food truck business in her hometown of New Orleans. Now with a new record deal with Merge Records, Dawn is about to release her hotly anticipated sixth solo album called Second Line: An Electro Revival, out April 30th. This is a story of coming home, to your roots, and to yourself.
