Sharon is probably best known as being one quarter of the multi-platinum, internationally renowned family band 'The Corrs.' A band that sold in excess of thirty-five million albums worldwide... and counting.
She was born in Dundalk, Ireland and began playing violin at the tender age of six. The band's traditional Irish signature sound that she helped produce on fiddle certainly made 'The Corrs' an instantly recognizable and truly unique act but what is perhaps less well known is that Sharon not only added beautiful harmonies and soaring backing vocals but personally wrote or co-wrote many of the band's hits. In her glittering career to date she has also been nominated for a Grammy in the US for her instrumental piece, 'Rebel Heart,' which was commissioned by the BBC for a television dra
ma. The band have also collected a Brit award, a number of Irma's and a host of other musical accolades. Global chart success and extensive touring has also meant Sharon and her family have performed for Pope John Paul, The Queen, two US Presidents and Nelson Mandela to name but a few. Indeed, she serves as an ambassador for Mandela's 46664 Aids awareness campaign.
After taking a few years out to have kids she is back in the studio, writing and recording though Sharon has kept her stage and studio legs by taking part in many projects. Friends and artists such as Bryn Terfel, Zucchero, Jean Michel-Jarre, Bill Whelan have all had Sharon either in studio or on stage adding her unique presence both to their work.
Now, it is time for Sharon to take centre stage. Her first single as a solo artist is due for release soon, meanwhile Sharon and her new band will be performing live this summer with a new album to follow. Sharon will sing lead, play violin and piano.
