My Take
Kate Schellenbach has one of the most quietly remarkable resumes in music. A Stuyvesant kid who became a founding drummer of the Beastie Boys, then kept the beat for Luscious Jackson, then reinvented herself as a television producer. What impresses me is that she held the rhythm in male-dominated punk and hip-hop scenes from the very start, never reducible to a single label. Born in 1966, she carved her own path while trends churned around her. I admire artists who keep playing their own beat regardless of fashion, and she has done exactly that across decades and disciplines.
