Unlike many singers, Sharon has studied voice, classical singing, music theory, and composition at the University of Windsor. Having sung both opera and gospel, Sharon truly has a comprehensive understanding of what good music sounds like. For 10 years she taught this skill as a music teacher privately and at the Durham District School Board in Ontario, focusing on instrumental music, voice, and songwriting. She also taught many song-writing workshops through the S.A.S.S. organization, co-founded by Dale Russell of the Guess Who (“American Woman”). Education, however, was not her only passion. In 2007, Sharon put together her first demo, which features the heartfelt “Your Girl” and the heart wrenching “I’m Afraid”. Recorded at the acclaimed Armoury Recording Studios, operated by producer Bruce Fairburn’s family in Vancouver, B.C. Working alongside Don Mcleod (producer, co-writer), Murray Atkinson (guitar) and Tobi Duquette (drums) the demo showcases her mature vocal abilities and the alluring sincerity in her lyrics. The full-length album, is slated for a 2008 release. Sharon Paquette|[email protected] http://www.sharonpaquette.com |
