Multi-talented writer, spoken word artist, rapper, and singer Dessa defies categorization. She is an intellectual with an international rap career; a creative writer fascinated by behavioral science; and a funny, charismatic performer dogged by blue moods and heartache. While reviewers categorize her as brilliant, sophisticated, and unconventional, Dessa describes her own literary debut memoir, My Own Devices, as simply a “collection of true stories about love and purpose, rap tours and loneliness, science and philosophy.” Sound Opinion host Greg Kot joins Dessa as she shares the kind of candid tales and poignant insights that can be won only by way of many, many hours in a traveling van.
