Creative Quest

"Questlove is king of the multi-hyphenates as an artist; he’s co-founder/producer/drummer for rap band The Roots, musical director for Jimmy Fallon’s Tonight Show, an in-demand DJ, album producer, author, foodie and more. So it’s a surprise to read, in the first line of his book about creativity, that Quest doesn’t know if he truly is creative. The rest of the book explores his meditations on how creativity works, from mentorship to the question of whether artists ever transcend their influences. It’s as if Questlove cracked open his mind and splashed his thoughts on the page, documenting his own restless creative journey while encouraging readers to take their own."
