Bio
Born Margaret Wander, Dessa's first release with Doomtree, False Hopes, introduced a unique sensibility to underground hip-hop: literary, bitter-sweet, and wry. She alternated between a clever, droll persona as an emcee and her earnest, unaffected delivery as a singer with a low, clear alto voice.
Under the backdrop of a renaissance castle and a starlit canopy at the amazing Chateau Theater in Rochester, MN, a sold-out crowd was treated to a stellar lineup of female vocalists as part of Dessa’s Bury the Lede tour.
