Sharon Watkins is the up-and-coming British singer-songwriter that ventured off to the USA for 8 years developing her folk / indie-pop style ballads. She debuts her much-anticipated, first single “Proud” on 28th January 2022, which has already triggered interest having been accepted onto multiple radio stations, press outlets and playlists ahead of release.
Sharon was recognised early in her song-writing journey when she won the UK Northern Songwriters Competition with her track “Just to Take My Mind Off You” which will release as one of her cadence of 10 singles in 2022. Her first pop-ballad - PROUD - showcases American influences and her classical training with its moving lyrics, haunting piano riffs and embracing string arrangement. Sharon has played all over the world with various artists and has now collaborated with some of the best musicians on the scene to create a music-lovers, 10-track showcase of her song-writing.
Collaborators on the album include: Bryan Corbett (trumpeter to the Brand New Heavies); “Bebee” Aldridge (sax player to Gary Barlow & Macklemore); Sam Miller (Sound Engineer to Razorlight & No. 1 album ‘the Trick to Life’ by the Hoosiers); and Sammy J Stopford (session drummer to Abbey Road, Glastonbury).
