Charmaine Lee

USA

Charmaine Lee is a New York-based vocalist and electronics artist whose music explores the extremes of presence, intimacy, and noise. Known for her fierce improvisational approach and use of extended vocal techniques, she has collaborated with artists including Ikue Mori, Conrad Tao, and the JACK Quartet. Her solo sets use feedback, vocal fragments, and real-time processing to create live compositions that are as fragile as they are ferocious.

Together with Randall Dunn, Lee also runs a record label, Kou Records, dedicated to artists who have built singular music languages.
