On this episode of Lamark After Dark, Lamark sits down with singer, songwriter, producer, and creative visionary Dawn Richard for an honest conversation about her artistry, independence, heritage, and the legacy she’s building on her own terms.

From her time with Danity Kane to her evolution as an independent artist, Dawn has continuously challenged expectations and expanded her creative identity. Now, through Creole Culture, she brings her family history, Creole roots, and personal perspective into a deeply meaningful musical trilogy.

In this conversation, Dawn breaks down the inspiration behind Creole Culture, the stories behind tracks like “Faith in the Fire” and “Enough,” and the visual storytelling behind “Only Fans.” She also reflects on putting her own spin on “Groove City,” collaborating with other creatives, and honoring the musical influences that helped shape her sound.

Lamark and Dawn also explore the realities of being an independent artist, navigating the music business, maintaining creative control, and building a career that reflects who you truly are.

Plus, Dawn reflects on Danity Kane’s 20-year legacy, the evolution of girl groups, trust and reconciliation, and what the future may hold. In Lamark’s Corner, she answers questions from the LAD community about her creative process, vocal technique, vinyl releases, collaborations, and upcoming performances.

From personal growth and self-worth to legacy and creative freedom, this is a conversation about knowing who you are, honoring where you come from, and having the courage to tell your story.

We’re giving Dawn Richard her flowers on Lamark After Dark!

In this episode of Lamark After Dark, Lamark sits down with PHAGs in The City cast members Niree, Gio, & Brian alongside director Mitch, for an honest, funny, messy and completely unfiltered conversation about their experience filming the new reality series.

The cast opens up about why they joined the show, who surprised them the most, what it was like being vulnerable on camera, their favorite moments from filming, and whether they would do another season.

Then things get messy with “PHAGs After Dark: Pick One” — from the messiest and most dramatic cast member to the biggest flirt, biggest secret-spiller and who deserves their own spinoff.

Director Mitch takes us behind the scenes of PHAGs in The City, including what inspired the series, how the cast came together, unexpected moments during production, and what viewers should pay attention to as the season unfolds.

We also bring back Lamark’s Corner, where Lamark answers YOUR questions about media, ambition, love, relationships, his future, Lamark After Dark, life after Season 5, and the current status of that “man that’s your man who’s not your man.”

And because it’s Suicide Prevention Month, Lamark takes a moment to have a real conversation about mental health, checking in with yourself, and giving yourself grace.

Nothing is off limits.

Reality television may show you a moment, but it doesn’t always show you the whole story.

Don’t judge someone’s entire life based on what makes the final edit.
