Shara Lunon is a transdisciplinary artist based in Brooklyn, NY. She is the product of the evolution of Black American musical traditions. As a poet, vocalist, composer, and improviser, her art finds the ethereal in the chaotic; the electronic in the organic. With voice as the foundation, Shara’s music is an exploration of text, electronics, and melody that seamlessly weaves through the ongoing relationship of struggle, resilience, and resolution. Her goal is to challenge lassitude and in its place, instill hope. Shara has collaborated with artists including Ches Smith, Milagros Art Collective, Chris Williams, Luke Stewart, Lesley Mok, Laura Cocks, Fay Victor and the International Contemporary Ensemble. Her work has been featured in The Gothamist and has won residencies with OneBeat, Papillon Farm, Amanda + James Pollinate residency, and Metropolis Ensemble Flame Keeper. Shara has also won awards from the American Composers Forum Create Grant, Audiofemme Agenda Grant, and MATA Presents Grant with Roulette Intermedium. Lunon has collaborated with artists including Fay Victor, Ches Smith, Shahzad Ismaily, Darius Jones, Chris Williams, Lesley Mok, and Luke Stewart. Currently, she is working on releasing projects with her quartet History Dog, and punk band Blasé.
