Danielle Dawson, born and raised in Brooklyn New York, USA, is the founder and CEO of Real Talk Entertainment and Faces of 2morrow magazine. She is a model, singer, choreographer, songwriter and producer. She was featured in a variety of well-known music videos one of which was Sean Paul's "Like Glue". She has worked with artist such as Freeway, Jay Z and also worked very closely with other well-known celebrities and producers. Danielle chose not to pursue a career as a model because she felt that it was a “waste of my talent to focus just on my looks” so she quit the "video business" in 2004 and focused on perfecting her craft as a song writer and producer.
Danielle started Real Talk Entertainment (R.T.E) an independent record label and Facez of 2morrow (F.O2m) to assist and inspire other struggling song writers, producers, rappers, singers, mangers, dancers, directors and any type of artist to reach their goals in the entertainment industry. Danielle holds true to her belief that the key to succeeding in the Entertainment business is “information, motivation and dedication.” She has plenty of expertise and experience on what it's like to be on both sides of the street in the entertainment business, so she organized her company to guide, support and inform inexperienced and semi-experienced talent along the way. She states some "new and up-and-coming talent don't have anyone to go to for information or support, therefore they spend a lot of time, money and energy trying to get discovered, but some get frustrated and give up and many end up being swindled." She had a friend who sent his music out only to be rejected 113 times but his 114th try made him a millionaire. However, if he had someone show him the best route to get his music heard, he would have saved lots of time and money. This is a great example on how one should never give up on their dream; it also demonstrates how difficult it could be to sell a great product.
Danielle understands that it takes a lot of patience and perseverance in the entertainment business to succeed. Her motto is, "doing business the right way." Danielle says “I have made several mistakes trying to pursue my career,” but she is willing to share her experiences to prevent others from making the same mistakes. She urges women to “be more cautious about how they handle their business because reputations are easily ruined if you are not.” She believes it’s difficult for women and harder if you are attractive. She states “ I am not being biased but from my experiences I have seen the way women are mistreated in the Music industry," but reports that "this is no excuse to look for sympathy just more of a reason to work harder."
