How would you describe your music to any person who may have never heard it before?
Sharon: Smooth, rhythmic, sensual, and dreamy soulful jazz.
What are your musical influences? Sade, Ella Fitzgerald, Diana Krall, Sarah Vaughan, Karrin Allyson, Barbra Streisand. What are your musical inspirations? Sharon: Frank Sinatra, Bill Evans, Chet Baker, Barbra Streisand, Nancy Wilson, Rachelle Farrell, Lisa Fischer, and Kenny Loggins. If given the chance, what musician(s) would you like to collaborate with? Rather this is to either write a song or be featured on a track. Sharon: Kenny Loggins, Lisa Fischer, Karrin Allyson, and Kem. What’s the new song about? Sharon: That Love that is deep, sensual, and adventurous. And full of promise. It is called "Love Will Follow." It is a remake of a Kenny Loggins song. Smooth, sensual, playful.
Do you have any favourite songs to perform live? It could be your own music or even a cover. Any reason why? Sharon: I love performing my original tune "Sugar on My Lips." It’s campy and fun to perform live and the vocal range for the song is wide. Low and sensual to high and ecstatic. It’s fun to play that range. If you could perform a show this very second anywhere in the world, where would it be? Is there any particular venue(s) or city/cities that comes to mind? Sharon: Portugal. I hear it's beautiful and has some beautiful outdoor performance venues. The weather is just right for an outdoor jazzy concert. And the people there are so warm and inviting. What do you currently have planned for the remainder of the year? Sharon: I have concerts booked in California til the end of the year. Check out my website: sharonmariecline.com for details and updates on my concert schedule. I’m working on a new music video. Plus, I am working on more episodes of my short-form podcast, Navigate With Your Heart. You may find those episodes wherever you listen to your podcasts online. Thanks for the time today. Is there anything else you may want to add before you go? Sharon: I love what I do. And I truly believe my dedication to my artistic expression will lead me on very fruitful journeys. Navigate with your heart and love will follow.
