VivianL Sharp
Coming in 2013, more attention to the detail of recording more often and more dedication to the music I want to sent from VivianL's world. At the present time, I am a "Studio Diva." I enjoy working out of the studio for now. Having worked in a band in Denver, Colorado as the featured singer in 1976, my memories of the "on-the-road-tip gig," was actually boring. So, for now I will be working with original materials from NewManiac. Am open to working with others as time permits.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
In the future, I will be performing with a band in and out of the studio. Finding myself in this twilight season of my life does not deter me from the task at hand. There is a way to do everything with dignity. This goal of mine, is meant to be a lot of fun as well as generate funds. If it be so, if not, this this is going to go down in history as a lot of enjoyment from yours truly. This is the beginning of a solo career, upon which I hope to maintain. Like some of the greats, Celine, Beyonce, Dionne Warwick, Barbra, Billie, Lena, Nancy, and Roberta Flack.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
In the future, I will perform live with small orchestras and combos. I like performing live. One special moment when performing live in Cheyenne, Wyoming at the Air Force Base with a combo, I was singing a Michael Jackson song, called, Shake Your Bootie Down To The Ground. There was a femal dancer and she was shaking her bootie and went all the way down and landed on the floor. I, of course, was shaking my bootie as a performer and doing the "Twist" as well. However, I went down and came back up but did not fall on the floor.Thank heavens. In my white sequined jumpsuite, that would have been a disaster!
Your musical influences
Musicially, I don't usually purchase music. An artist like Vickie Yohe attracted me to the song, Because of Who You Are. I enjoyed the music and the words. To get to the point, I listen to a lot of genres and will sing what I like. Hopefully, that will get me some satisfaction.
What equipment do you use?
Mainly working from the equipment of NewManiac. My goal is to have my own studio equipment soon, especially a Sennheiser microphone.
Anything else?
Maybe later. That's all for now! Except to say my motto is Don't Wait to be Discovered. Discover Yourself! (Vivian L Sharp aka VKameelah Sharp)
