Hi! I’m Sharon Udoh, and I’m a Nigerian-American pianist, improviser, vocalist, and curator based in Chicago,

For a lot of my life, I have also performed under the name Counterfeit Madison.

My performances have been described as a warm bowl of soup, a tornado, a jalapeño pepper, a Jackson Pollock painting, a bulldozer, dangerous, and magnetic.

My collaborators have included clipping., Tune-Yards, Los Angeles Gay Men's Chorus, Ben Lamar Gay, Mabel Kwan, Allen Moore, Bill Harris, Jamila Woods, and Angel Bat Dawid. Long after I left the church of my youth, music has become a place of worship, and has been my salvation many times over; I am forever and always in love with a hymn.
