Let's make this birthday one to remember.

56 years old (Born on August 29, 1968)

Happy Birthday, Meshell Ndegeocello! You're the soulful genius who gave us neo-soul before we even knew we needed it. From your groundbreaking grooves to that unforgettable 1996 dance hit "Who Is He (and What Is He To You?)", you've kept us dancing, thinking, and feeling deeply—often all at once.

Ten Grammy nominations later, you're still effortlessly cool and timelessly relevant. Your music continues to inspire generations of artists and fans alike. Here's hoping your birthday is as smooth as your bass lines and as legendary as your career. Keep grooving—we're forever grateful for the rhythm you bring!
