Kenny Sharp is a singer, songwriter and producer known for his signature genre-bending sound he calls, "Brown Liquor Music." Sharp began his career as a rapper focused on lyrical skill before signing with mentor LunchMoney Lewis to Prescription Songs. He has since become a sought after name for his lyrics and melodies by film and television sync teams as well as music producers, artists and songwriters across genres including hip-hop, pop and country. Sharp is a dynamic entertainer with a live show reminiscent of Muddy Waters, Sly and the Family Stone and James Brown.

"Picture the musical spirit of Nashville, the grit of Memphis, and the soulful legacy of Muscle Shoals, Alabama all rolled into one, and that’s Kenny Sharp and 'Brown Liquor Music.'"  - No Depression Magazine
