As a&nbsp;musician, she’s co-composed for large choirs; crowd-surfed at rock clubs;&nbsp;recorded a live album with the&nbsp;Grammy-winning Minnesota Orchestra; and contributed&nbsp;a track to the #1 album&nbsp;The Hamilton Mixtape. Her TED Talk, which&nbsp;recounts her science experiment on how to fall out of love, has notched more&nbsp;than 5&nbsp;million views. She’s written for&nbsp;The New York Times&nbsp;and&nbsp;National&nbsp;Geographic Traveler; hosted two seasons of a podcast for the BBC; and&nbsp;published several poetry books and literary collections including the&nbsp;memoir-in-essays&nbsp;My Own Devices&nbsp;(Penguin Random House). Dessa’s&nbsp;musical career began in earnest when she was asked to join Minneapolis’&nbsp;Doomtree collective, the hip-hop crew known for bold production, charismatic&nbsp;lyricists, and explosive live shows. She started&nbsp;touring hard as a solo act&nbsp;after her 2010 release&nbsp;A Badly Broken Code. Since then, she’s released 5&nbsp;more full-length albums, working across sounds and styles while keeping her&nbsp;razor-sharp writing front and center.&nbsp;<iframe-embed src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/artist/2CQAfzpwwaMxj3YNlb4Gbj?utm_source=generator" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" loading="lazy" height="352" width="100%" style="border-radius:12px" metaposition="flex-start" metatype="spotify"></iframe-embed>Kayla Marque<iframe-embed src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/artist/75dzEtfpqH8hznod6iNSvd?utm_source=generator" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" loading="lazy" height="352" width="100%" style="border-radius:12px" metaposition="flex-start" metatype="spotify"></iframe-embed>
