HISTORY: It may seem she’s been seeking for success in the music business, but as a matter of fact her biggest input has always been passion: big passion for music. Sharon’s personal motto is “Music is passion – Passion is music”. In the early 90’s she starts recording lots of tracks in the upcoming house genre and develops creativity by writing lyrics, including, from that time on, the producing aspect of music. She build up an amazing experience in recording studios and gained a lot of collaborations due to her ability in writing and recording in a very fast tempo! Her first approach to music was thanks to her parents: father Alberto was playing rock records all the time (like Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, Beatles, C,S,N&Y, Eagles and many more), but also a lot of classical music (like Rachmaninoff, Tchaikovski, Mozart, Beethoven, Mahler and Sibelius). Mother Maureen was playing a lot of music as well!!! (Joni Mitchell, Cat Stevens, Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Earth,Wind & Fire and many more). So at the age of 5 Sharon was playing already those records by herself on her mother’s record-player! On high school Sharon joined a new wave band called Half Moon and this would sign her definitive entry to the wonderful world of music. After 2 years she became part of most famous Italian reggae band Africa Unite, with whom she performed as backing vocals for about two and a half years, participating to their 2nd and 3rd album 'Llaka' and 'People pie'. In 1990 Sharon sang as backing vocals on 3 tracks for Italian artist Paolo Conte's album “Parole D’Amore Scritte A Macchina”. In the meantime she started her 6-year experience as backing vocals and lead singer, in the 70-80-90 cover band APPALOOSA GROUP, reaching a huge number of live performances. This would be the start of her career as lead singer. She never stopped performing in piano-bars as well, mainly for the fun of singing. And, of course, at events and private parties. |
