Music and playing guitar had been a part of my upbringing, mentioned Sharpe. I would sing songs to my children and my nephews when they had been little and then when I was blessed with 3 amazing grandchildren I discovered myself so inspired to write and generate my personal childrens songs since of them. My nephew Jeremy (Hoenig) has been a professional musician all of his adult life and he plays drums in the band. The entire family is nominated as far as Im concerned, and that means the globe to me.
Numerous of Sharpes songs are written collectively with his grandchildren. The title song Are We There However? was inspired by a road trip they all took together. The 3 kids got in on the recording process as nicely and can be heard singing back up on the track Bubble Wrap. The GRAMMY Nominated album was co-developed by his nephew Jeremy Hoenig, who also plays drums in the band, and Tim Volpicella.
Though Sharpe had been a musician his whole life, it wasnt until he had grandchildren and all of his buddies were having grandchildren that he began thinking of creating music professionally. When all of the households would get together, Sharpe would carry out a few of the hundreds of songs he had written. Everyone encouraged him to get into the studio and make these songs official. Which is just what he did, and now he is a GRAMMY? Nominee, the highest accolade in music simply because it is voted on by other music makers.
My music connects individuals of all ages, which is what I enjoy, mentioned Sharpe. Being nominated by your peers is the greatest honor. Winning a GRAMMY? would be an absolute dream come true and one that my entire household would share.
