Counterfeit Madison is the musical manifestation of Sharon Udoh, a Nigerian-American pianist, composer, arranger, curator, 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 for the expansive. Their performances have been described as a warm bowl of soup, a tornado, a jalapeño pepper, a Jackson Pollock painting, a bulldozer, and magnetic. Her collaborators have included clipping., Tune-Yards, Los Angeles Gay Men's Chorus, Ben Lamar Gay, Jamila Woods, Angel Bat Dawid, and Cooling Prongs.
