Born Oketto Chambers in St. Catherine, Jamaica, Sharp believes music was infused in his genetic makeup and has been taking risks with it ever since that discovery. He honed his skills performing at parties and dances and entering contests including Jamaica’s popular Tastee Talent Contest.
When he emigrated to the United States after completing high school in Jamaica in 1999, Sharp’s mother may have thought that was the end of his music interest, but it was only the beginning. He enrolled at The College at Oneonta in upstate New York, and completed his Bachelor’s Degree in Music Industry and worked at Columbia Records in Strategic Marketing.
Armed not only with a talent but knowledge of the industry, Sharp, who plays the piano and writes all his songs, is now on the cusp of his breakout with his new and soon to be released album, “All or Nothing” on the BBK Entertainment label, a company started by Sharp and his cousin.
Three singles have been released thus far, “Money Right” and “the Weekend” and the “Biz” if the hype is anything to go by, this Jamaican artiste is one to watch.
“Money Right” which Sharp describes as a hip, feel-good song, decries economic hardship and encourages you treat yourself. The song has enjoying heavy rotation in Florida, Atlanta ,New York and Connecticut.
