Not only was she an exceptional performer, but she was also a talented athlete. This homecoming queen was a high school national basketball champion as well as a state bowling champion. Dawn later began performing with a local group who called themselves Realiti before blossoming into a solo artist by the name of "Dawn Angelique." She performed throughout New Orleans before venturing out to events such as the Louisiana Jazz and Heritage Festival, New Orleans Black Heritage Festival, American Teen Beauty Contest in Orange County, and California. Throughout all this Dawn understood the importance of her education and attended the University of New Orleans under a full scholarship. She continued her dedication to dancing by performing with the New Orleans Hornets cheerleading squad for two years--becoming captain the second. In 2005, Dawn auditioned for the MTV show Making the Band 3 in Orlando, where she was chosen to compete for a spot in Diddy's future girl-group.
