240: Meshell Ndegeocello

Because many of you are on lockdown due to the Corona virus
outbreak. We're bringing you new episodes of The Trap Set every
day for the foreseeable future.


Today's episode features the inimitable Meshell Ndegeocello.
Meshell has charted a wildly adventurous artistic course over the
past 30+ years, and throughout it all, she has retained a unique
creative fingerprint.


Meshell and Joe talk about: achieving a balance between honoring
one's own creative vision and facilitating that of others;
Meshell's rich inner world, which she first developed during
childhood; the DC go-go scene; becoming a professional musician
while caring for a baby; and reconciling the call of the muse
with the desire to entertain a crowd.
