Dessa

Nestled squarely between Park Slope and Carroll Gardens. The Bell House is a state of the art 8,000 square foot facility with separate performance space and lounge. Crafted out of a 1920’s printing factory and featuring an 88 foot long, 25 foot high magnificent wooden barrel vault ceiling, The Bell House has  become a major hub for arts and performance in Brownstone Brooklyn.

Singer, rapper, and writer Dessa has made a career of bucking genres and defying expectations—her résumé as a musician includes performances at Lollapalooza and Glastonbury, co-compositions for 100-voice choir, performances with the Minnesota Orchestra, and top-200 entries on the Billboard charts. She contributed to the #1 album The Hamilton Mixtape and the RBG documentary; her track, “Congratulations,” has notched over 20 million streams. As a writer, she’s been published by The New York Times and National Geographic Traveler, broadcast by Minnesota Public Radio, and published a memoir-in-essays (My Own Devices, 2018) in addition to two literary collections. As a speaker, Dessa has delivered keynote speeches and presentations on art, science, and entrepreneurship; guest lectures at universities and colleges across the US; and a TED Talk about her science experiment on how to fall out of love. She’s also the host of Deeply Human, a podcast created by the BBC and American Public Media. Dessa has been covered by Pitchfork, Forbes, and The Wall Street Journal amongst others. The LA Times says she “sounds like no one else.” NPR’s All Songs Considered calls her “a national treasure.” On the stage and on the page, Dessa’s style is defined by ferocity, wit, tenderness, and candor.--<a href="https://www.dessawander.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">dessawander.com</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/dessa/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">@dessa</a>-﻿-F﻿eaturing:Marcia Belsky (@<a href="https://www.instagram.com/marciasky" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">marciasky</a>)Kahiem Rivera (@<a href="https://www.instagram.com/kahiemrivera" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">kahiemrivera</a>)
