Fresh off the heels of her BET Awards 2012 Nomination alongside her former group Diddy-Dirty Money for best group of 2012, songstress Dawn Richard lends her talents to the latest spread for Pynk.

Inside, Dawn rocks an array of colors, stripes and patterns, making way for the summer months ahead. She also discusses her career, personal style and industry crushes, just to name a few of the topics. Here are a few excerpts;

Where do you see your music career going in the next 5 years? 
Dawn: “I would hope that my music reaches the masses without losing anyone in the process. I think musically when people listen to this RnB and watch the dance that goes along with it the movements are a little bit more moving, than when people simply listen to other RnB.  I hope that the word innovative would be used a lot. I hope that after people have seen the same thing over and over again,  their eyes will be open to something different. I am a storyteller, and I would love to be telling who I am while continuing to push the envelope through my music.”

What has been one of the most memorial moments in the your music career? 
Dawn:“There are so many moments, I have had an amazing timeline of events. I think the time when I made the group Dainty Kane, as well as the time I got to work with Legend Grace Jones.”

On personal style
“I am a huge fan of pushing the envelope, I am a hippy at heart. I enjoy mixing different prints and patterns together.”

On her crushes?
“Zoe Kravitz,  I love her acting, style, and modeling career. Zoe Saldana is another one of my crushes.”

On man crush
“James Dean  if he were still existent he would be my man crush. He provided a sense of inspiration in fashion, and really defined the ultimate cool, to be the choices I make in my old world.”

Kudos to Pynk for another dope spread!
