Get ready for Donn T, she’s the sister of everybody’s favorite late night drummer ?uestlove, and her new album Kaleidoscopic is out for global release. The Philly native and global citizen is no newcomer to the music scene; her parents were touring musicians and she’s been working behind the scene with Common (“I Am Music”), the Randy Watson Experience (“Morning Bell”), licensed music for TV and film,  and shared stage with artists like Amy Winehouse, Zap Mama, John Legend, Les Nubians, Floetry and more.
