See AllMore than 30 years into his career, Questlove is still open to change.
The Roots frontman and multi-hyphenate has performed in Jimmy Fallon’s in-house band for over a decade, was a producer on the “Hamilton” cast album, is an adjunct professor at NYU, hosts a podcast and has written eight books.
