how do you pronounce me'shell ndegeocello's last name?

I've heard some of her music, and seen her mentioned in countless magazines, newspapers, and forums like this, but I don't think I've ever heard someone actually say her name. Help me out here!

'the girl who turned down to play bass in the Rolling Stones' is the best way way to avoid complicated words like NdegeOcello

On some printings of her first album, there actually was a sticker that said it's pronounced "N-Day-Gay-O-Chell-O."

Mara's got it!
