Merging soul, R&B, jazz, hip-hop, and rock, the music of Meshell Ndegeocello celebrates the unexpected. In a career spanning 30 years, she has released more than a dozen albums and performed all over the world, redefining benchmarks for women and queer artists. She also remains one of the few performers who write the music, sing the songs, and lead the band—as she will do for her Pierre Boulez Saal debut.
