Charmaine Lee

Charmaine Lee is an Australian vocalist based in New York, born in 1991. Her practice is primarily concerned with risk-taking, playfulness, and improvisation, using the voice alongside feedback and live processing to explore what sound can mean when it abandons linguistic meaning and melodic convention entirely. The New Yorker has described her work as extraordinary, and she has been featured in the New York Times and Washington Post.

She is a Jerome Hill Artist Fellow (2025), an Emergent Ventures winner (2024), was an ISSUE Project Room Artist-in-Residence (2019), and a Roulette Van Lier Fellow (2021).
