Ndegeocello is a virtuosic creative as a multi-instrumentalist, singer, and songwriter. Her storied career has included songs topping Billboard charts, most notably her original "If That's Your Boyfriend (He Wasn't Last Night)" in 1994. Ndegeocello has collaborated on bass and rapped alongside Madonna on her album Bedtime Stories, and on Chaka Khan's single "Never Miss the Water" in 1996. Her recent album release and Blue Note Records debut, The Omnichord Real Book, is an exquisite, deeply jazz-influenced album that earned Ndegeocello the 2024 Grammy for Best Alternative Jazz Album.

No More Water: The Gospel of James Baldwin, is set to be released on August 2, 2024 in honor of Baldwin's 100th birthday.
