Sharpi as an Entertainer
Since childhood, my love for singing and performing was ignited by the dynamic Motown atmosphere in Detroit. I developed my abilities in church choirs and high school glee clubs, ultimately taking on the role of a worship leader for several years. After moving to Arizona, my friends and colleagues motivated me to take my singing more seriously, leading me to discover jam sessions and local musical opportunities. This journey sparked my path as a performer, and now I am on stages throughout the city. Each performance provides a sense of joy and satisfaction, reinforcing my lifelong passion for music and its ability to bring us together. Today, I cherish every moment on stage, thankful for the journey that has brought me to this point.
My Design Story
My journey into fashion designing began with the inspiring influences of my mother and grandmother, both of whom attended the same design school and learned under the same instructor as I did. Growing up, my mother designed beautiful clothing for my sisters and me, nurturing my skills and creativity. For over 55 years, I've not only designed fabulous creations but also worked in visual displays, showcasing my passion daily. My nickname, "Sharpi," has an amusing origin; it was given to me by dear friends of their daughters who used to call me Barb Sharp, a nod to my always being dressed to impress—something that remains true today. I cherish the joy of constant creation, and I owe a great deal to my parents for encouraging me to pursue my artistic gifts.
