Cherimondis J is an outrageously talented multi-instrumentalist, a classically trained concert pianist, and a soon-to-be college graduate. Our conversation goes to some deep and introspective places, mostly because Cherimondis clearly does a lot of thinking about how making art fits into her life. I asked her to contribute to my new concept EP I Am Experienced, she kindly agreed to do so, and you can hear her singing and playing violin on a few of the songs. We talk about that, the album Dove Archer that she released last year, being Black in the classical music world, her creative process and plans, and all sorts of other things.
