Oni Buchanan is a serial entrepreneur and multi-faceted artist whose career encompasses poetry, concert piano performance, interdisciplinary production, and the founding and leadership of two companies in the performance and technology sectors, respectively, Ariel Artists and ImmerSphere.

In the literary realm, Buchanan is the author of four major poetry collections: What Animal (2003), Spring (2008), which was selected for the National Poetry Series, Must a Violence (2012), and Time Being (2020). Her work is known for formally inventive approaches: she integrates typographic, polyphonic, and mathematical structures into her poems, often exploring the residual space between words and music.

Parallel to her literary work, Buchanan enjoyed a rich career as a concert pianist. Over more than a decade, she performed internationally across North and South America, touring with concert programming that was deeply interdisciplinary in nature, fusing music with poetry, theater, visual art, electronics, and other media.

In 2009, Buchanan founded Ariel Artists, a management company built to support visionary classical and contemporary-classical musicians. In 2021, Buchanan extended her creative leadership into the tech space: she founded and now serves as CEO of ImmerSphere, an augmented-reality storytelling platform. 

Through her multifaceted practice—as a poet, pianist, curator, and tech founder—Oni Buchanan consistently bridges form and innovation, expanding the boundaries of expression and championing creative risk alongside sustained artistic excellence.
