Vocalist Charmaine Lee ’14 Is Taking Her Mind-Bending Music to All 50 States

Charmaine Lee ’14’s music might be unlike anything you’ve ever heard before. Lee grew up in a musical family and studied jazz at Princeton along with sociology. She also sang with one of Princeton’s a cappella groups, and the experience inspired her to carve out an innovative niche as a vocalist in the world of auditory art. Right now, she’s on a tour of 60 shows through all 50 states, and she has a new album out, titled “Tulpa.” Lee agreed to come on the PAWcast and discuss how and why she creates her art — and share some of it as well.
