“The world needs more musicians like her: creatively restless and ambitious.” – NPR Music

Masterful and mercurial, acclaimed Grammy-winning multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter, and producer Meshell Ndegeocello has eschewed genre for originality, celebrity for longevity, and musical trends for musical truth. Fans have come to expect the unexpected from Meshell, but audiences everywhere are fascinated by her sojourns into soul, spoken word, R&B, jazz, hip-hop, and rock, all bound by a lyrical, spiritual search for love, justice, respect, resolution, and happiness.

A vast array of influences have informed all of Ndegeocello’s albums, and there are traces of her native go-go, hip hop, R&B, new wave, and punk in each. Each album has been a step away from the last, each used as a chance to investigate and integrate new sounds and ideas. She makes her Blue Note Records debut with The Omnichord Real Book, a visionary and deeply jazz-influenced album that marks the start of a new chapter in her trailblazing and unpredictable career. 

A bass player above all else, Ndegeocello brings her warm, melodic groove to everything she does and has appeared alongside the Rolling Stones, Madonna, Alanis Morrisette, the Blind Boys of Alabama, Chaka Khan, and many more. Meshell was the first woman to be featured on the cover of Bass Player magazine. Among a long list of accolades, Ndegeocello has been nominated for 12 Grammy Awards, winning in 2024 for Best Alternative Jazz Album and in 2021 for Best R&B Song. 

Find your center with the incomparable Meshell Ndegeocello.
