Violinist Kelly Hall-Tompkins is one of those fortunate people who knew at an early age what they wanted to do with their life. She discovered her calling when she started playing the violin at age nine. Since then Kelly has hit many career highlights as a soloist and chamber musician including performances with numerous orchestras like the Dallas Symphony and the Chamber Orchestra of New York, over 800,000 YouTube views for her "Imagination" music video album and praise from the New York Times and the Strad magazine. Kelly's latest milestone is her Broadway debut in the revival of Fiddler on the Roof where she fulfills the titular role from the orchestra pit. In addition to her vast musical talent, Kelly is also a humanitarian who founded and directs Music Kitchen, a program that brings chamber musician performances to New York City homeless shelters with participation from over 100 acclaimed artists. Kelly's future plans include more music videos featuring her virtuoso playing.

You don't get to be on Broadway for nearly eighteen years by pure luck. You could say singer and actress Rema Webb's journey to the Great White Way began at age twelve when she first started singing lessons in our shared hometown of Clairton, PA, a suburb of Pittsburgh. Along the way she participated in choirs and pageants, trained in piano and classical voice, studied her craft at the University of Pittsburgh and in Italy. Rema's consistent work ethic eventually led to a role in Ragtime, her Broadway debut. She's since added nine more musicals to her resumé including 16 1/2 years in the Lion King, the Book of Mormon and the current revival of the Color Purple. In February, Rema was featured on cast recording albums of the Color Purple and A New Brain. She is also the founder/executive director of On Broadway Performing Arts Training Program, a organization dedicated to the performing arts, mentoring and education of young aspiring artists. On April 25, Rema reprises Children Will Listen, her celebrated one woman show at New York's 42 West.

Electronica producer and artist Praveen Sharma's career is a study in fluidity. He easily moves from duos (Praveen & Benoit and Sepalcure) to his solo project, Braille. Last year, Braille was well-represented with two releases: the Everyone's Crazy EP and the full-length Mute Swan. From mysterious house tracks to brooding mood pieces featuring extraneous vocals, the common threads are innovation and melancholy. Expect a new Sepalcure release from Praveen and musical partner Machinedrum (Travis Stewart) later in the year.

Is it too soon to call Marcus Paul James' new single "Living in Dreams" the best song you'll hear in 2016? Yes, it might be a tad presumptuous, but I stand behind my prediction that you will play this ballad 10 times in a row. The Brooklyn-native singer/songwriter comes naturally to good music with a successful career performing on Broadway in musicals like RENT and the Heights. More recently he appeared in NBC's the Wiz Live last December. Marcus is currently working on his forthcoming EP tentatively scheduled for a Spring release.

After hearing the eclectic roster of cassette (and some vinyl) label Already Dead Tapes, it's no doubt that you'll be kicking yourself for tossing out that banana-yellow Walkman. It's okay; every ADT release comes with a digital download. But admit it, tapes are way more fun than MP3s. Based in Brooklyn via Chicago, ADT was founded in 2009 by Joshua Tabbia (and Sean Hartman). Since its inception, the label has carved out a respected reputation for its genre-defying list of artists from all over the world in small batches. Joshua says the curation process is a natural reflection of his own varied musical tastes. A graphic designer by day, the Kalamazoo-native also handles the creative design for the independent label. With dozens of releases every year from hip-hop to noise to alt-rock, ADT offers plenty to discover for music aficionados. Get a taste of the label with an exclusive 5-song sampler after our conversation.

Meshell Ndegeocello's CV may include collaborations with the eclectic company of Herbie Hancock, Basement Jaxx, Robert Glasper and Madonna, yet with every project she remains resolutely herself. Whether it's through guest spots or her own releases, Meshell's sound has always been her hallmark. In 1993, Madonna's fledgling Maverick Records released Plantation Lullabies, Meshell's debut which perfectly highlighted that sound: dual pleasures of baritone singing and spoken word with her distinctive bass-playing washing over and through you. For more than 20 years and 11 albums, this restless artist has touched upon genre after genre without sacrificing her identity or style. Utilizing her laptop as a new instrument, this year Meshell plans to release a new album that aims to fuse both politics and dancing.

Talk Music Talk Spotify Playlist: The Portable MeshellIt's no surprise that several past TMT guests have mentioned Meshell as an influence. I previously made a playlist that covered music from all of her solo albums. At nearly 2 hours, it's an amazing survey of both talent and ingenuity. Enjoy! https://open.spotify.com/user/therattlecat/playlist/3r26Tu7wrgE4EE3SA0jt9P

To say that pianist Vijay Iyer covers the musical waterfront is quite possibly an understatement. His expertise finds him comfortably traversing from his namesake jazz trio to a hip-hop-rooted project with poet Mike Ladd to a classical album, Mutations. Vijay's eclecticism has not gone unnoticed. His talent has been praised by the New York Times, Chicago Tribune and Pitchfork. Last year, DownBeat magazine named him their Artist of the Year and in 2013 he was awarded a MacArthur Fellow "Genius Grant". Vijay is currently an Artist-In-Residence at the Metropolitan Museum of Art which will include multiple performances in a variety of settings along with curated works by fellow artists.

There's a good chance music writer Jesse Jarnow knows more about the Grateful Dead than you ever will. Understandably, he did get a head start when he was in middle school. Since then he's been on a slippery slope that would eventually lead to writing extensively about the iconic jam band. He's penned liner notes for Dave's Picks, the archive series of classic Dead shows; compiled the entire setlist repertoire for the band's 80 disc concert box set, 30 Trips Around the Sun and has a forthcoming book that explores the Dead community entitled Heads: A Biography of Psychedelic America, coming out in March. He's also the DJ of the Frow Show on freeform radio station WFMU...where, of course, he manages to squeeze in some Dead music.
