Sally Dunstone

serpentwithfeet is an avant-garde R&B vocalist and performance artist whose body of work is rooted in dueling obsessions with the ephemeral and the everlasting – key components of his artistic journey from a childhood stint as a choirboy in Baltimore through his time at The University of the Arts in Philadelphia, where he studied music.

serpent’s vision is crafted and honed from myriad inspirations: authors like Essex Hemphill; towering works like Toni Morrison’s Song of Solomon; icons like Geoffrey Holder and Brandy. All of it refracts into serpent’s singular voice and artistry. He has written music for film and TV shows like The Inspection and Love, Victor, and his collaborations range from the experimental to adult contemporary with features on songs from Björk, Daniel Caesar, Virgil Abloh, Ellie Goulding and Ty Dolla $ign.

In 2023, serpent toured Heart of Brick, a theatrical dance and music production he conceived. The evocative performance was directed by Wu Tsang and choreographed by Raja Feather Kelly; Designer Carlos Soto and poet Donte Collins completed the team of luminous artists. Heart of Brick was co-commissioned by: The Los Angeles Philharmonic Association, The Joyce Theater Foundation, The International Summer Festival (Kampnagel), and The LA Phil.
