Counterfeit Madison

Counterfeit Madison is the musical manifestation of Sharon Udoh, a Nigerian-American pianist, composer and vocalist based in Chicago. Her work combines vocals that seemingly erupt from the center of the earth with a stage presence that somehow feels both dangerous and kind, abandoning genre. Their collaborators have included Marvin Tate, Adam Zanolini, Cristal Sabbagh, Tune-Yards, clipping., Los Angeles Gay Men's Chorus, D-Composed, Ben Lamar Gay, and Angel Bat Dawid. His performances have been described as a warm bowl of soup, a tornado, a jalapeño pepper, a Jackson Pollock painting, a bulldozer, and magnetic. Find out more at counterfeitmadison.com.

Counterfeit Madison es la manifestación cultural de Sharon Udoh, pianista, compositora y vocalista nigeriana-estadounidense radicada en Chicago. Su trabajo combina voces que parecen que emergen del centro de la tierra con una presencia escénica que se puede sentir tanto peligrosa como bondadosa, abandonando el género. Entre sus colaboradores se encuentran Marvin Tate, Adam Zanolini, Cristal Sabbagh, Tune-Yards, clipping., Los Angeles Gay Men's Chorus, D-Composed, Ben Lamar Gay, y Angel Bat Dawid. Sus presentaciones han sido descritas como un caliente plato de sopa, un tornado, un chile jalapeño, una pintura de Jackson Pollock, una excavadora, y magnéticas.
