The NICU nurse turned R&B sensation proves inspiration can strike anywhere with "Pink Lemonade"
Sometimes the best songs come from the most unexpected places. For Mariah Dawne, that place was her nightstand, and the inspiration came in a bottle labeled "Pink Lemonade."
"PINK LEMONADE was born quite literally from a bottle," Mariah chuckles. "We were at a recent magazine photoshoot with REVO Magazine, and I was gifted with a beautiful box of self-care products. As I arrived home, I placed the item called Pink Lemonade on my nightstand and eventually tried some on. Overcome by the scent, this aura immediately caught my attention. I began to consider how the senses can so closely align with passion, and 'Pink Lemonade' came to life."

And thank goodness it did, because what emerged is pure magic. Written by Mariah Dawne and produced by The Colleagues and Joe Millionaire, "Pink Lemonade" is the kind of song that reminds you why R&B exists in the first place—to make you feel something deep and undeniable.
From Shreveport to Stardom
This isn't Mariah's first time making waves. The Shreveport, Louisiana native has been building her empire one note at a time, and her journey reads like a masterclass in persistence and purpose. Her previous single "Material Girl" hit the Billboard R&B Top 30, proving she's got the chops to compete with the best. Then came "Hold on Me" featuring Grammy award-winning Raheem DeVaughn, which had music lovers around the world hitting repeat.
But here's what makes Mariah different: she's not just an artist—she's a NICU nurse, a proud member of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Incorporated, and an active partner with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital supporting their "Love Music Stop Cancer" campaign. When she says "Dream with your eyes wide open," she's not just dropping inspirational quotes—she's living proof that you can pursue your passion while making a difference in the world.
Taking "Pink Lemonade" on the Road
This September, Mariah is hitting the road for her "PINK LEMONADE" promotional tour, and the lineup looks like a who's who of major markets: New York, Atlanta, Houston, Dallas, Shreveport, New Orleans, Los Angeles, and Chicago. But the real highlight comes on September 28th when she co-headlines her first music festival in her hometown at the Red River Revel Arts Festival in Shreveport. There's something beautiful about coming full circle like that—from singing in the church choir at age 5 to headlining festivals as an adult.
Media Darling with Substance
Mariah has been making her rounds on the media circuit, and for good reason. She's appeared on The Kelly Clarkson Show, The Portia Show, CBS "Great Day Washington," FOX SOUL, FOX32 Good Day Chicago, FOX5 Good Day Atlanta, CBS "Great Day Louisiana," and countless other morning shows. But unlike some artists who just show up to promote, Mariah brings substance to every interview—talking about her work as a NICU nurse, her faith, and her commitment to using her platform for good.
The SRG-ILS Group Deal Changes Everything
Here's the big news that's got the industry talking: Mariah just signed a recording deal with the SRG-ILS Group, distributed by Virgin Music/UMG. That's the kind of partnership that transforms careers and puts artists on the global stage. With her debut EP set to release in spring 2026, "Pink Lemonade" is just the appetizer for what promises to be a feast of musical excellence.
An Artist with Heart and Purpose
What sets Mariah apart in a crowded field is her authenticity. She's been singing since age 5, honing her craft through church choirs, local talent shows, school plays, and her mother's "rigid vocal coaching." She's an "old soul" who loves animals and has a flair for public speaking, painting, pottery, and dance. Most importantly, she's never forgotten where she came from or lost sight of her purpose.
Through her work with St. Jude and her commitment to the MusicGives and LoveMusicStopCancer initiatives, Mariah proves that success isn't just about chart positions—it's about using your platform to make a real difference.
The Bottom Line
"Pink Lemonade" isn't just another R&B single—it's a testament to the power of staying open to inspiration, no matter where it comes from. In Mariah's hands, a simple self-care product becomes a sensual anthem about how our senses connect to passion, how the smallest moments can spark the biggest ideas.
As she embarks on this promotional tour and prepares for her debut EP, Mariah Dawne is proving that authenticity never goes out of style. She's a NICU nurse who saves lives by day and creates musical magic by night. She's a woman of faith who believes in dreaming with your eyes wide open. She's an artist who understands that real success means lifting others up as you climb.
With SRG-ILS Group backing her and Virgin Music/UMG handling distribution, Mariah has the support system to take her artistry to the next level. But honestly? She was already there. The industry partnership just means more people will get to discover what those of us paying attention already know—Mariah Dawne is special.
So whether you're catching her on tour, streaming "Pink Lemonade," or following her journey through all those morning show appearances, remember this moment. You're witnessing the rise of an artist who's got the talent, the heart, and the vision to make a lasting impact on music and the world.
Sometimes inspiration really does come in a bottle. But it takes an artist like Mariah Dawne to turn that inspiration into something that moves souls and changes lives.
Get ready for the "Pink Lemonade" era—it's going to be sweet, refreshing, and absolutely unforgettable.
