Dessa
AGE: Unknown
HOMETOWN: Minneapolis, Minnesota
LABEL: Doomstree Records
OFFICIAL DEBUT: Castor The Twin
CO-SIGN: NPR
STORY: A member of the Midwest ensemble Doomtree, Margret Wander known as Dessa has been rhyming and singing for almost a decade. Her debut A Badly Broken Code was her first offering, followed by Castor The Twin and her upcoming as-yet-untitled LP due out later this year. Mixing singing, rhyming and performance art into one show, Dessa’s seems to stand firmly in the arthouse genre.
CHANCE: Utilizing Ani DiFranco’s love of National Public Radio, Dessa will most likely eek out a niche fanbase.
