Sharif -SINGER/SONGWRITER
Born and raised in the small town of Passaic, NJ Sharif has an undeniable creative spirit. Growing up in a single-parent home he learned early on the importance of hard work and strong family and friend support. Sharif was born with a love for music, and began to nourish his noticeable gift for song around age 10. Performing in school assemblies, local talent shows, and the church choir throughout his teens only made that love grow. Majoring in Vocal Performance at William Paterson University Sharif remained focus on his singing aspirations and continued to wow audiences in university and local venues.
Sharif is more determined on his dream to pursue his creative talents, especially as a vocalist and writer. Currently working on his debut album, he describes it as having “universal appeal, a sound everyone can sit back and enjoy.” With his fun and bubbly personality he is sure to captivate you with his powerful performance and unique sound. Drawing on inspiration from the vocal styles of Brandy, Frankie Beverly, Keith Sweat, Jodeci, and Shai, and performance techniques of Beyoncé,Michael JacksoMichael Jackson, and Usher, Sharif says:
"My music is a reflection of the 80’s rooted in the current sounds of today’s R&B.”
