Phreeda Sharp - Unchained (Produced by Ken Waters)

“Sharp lyrical content, sex appeal and commanding”
Vibe.com

“A tough, young, coolly attitudinal Missy Elliott for the grime-pop/UK bass generation”

“The self-styled Bad Jane… ready to tear rap up”
Wonderland Magazine

“Witty, well enunciated, sexually driven lyrics on immensely fresh sounding songs”
MTV Wrap Up


Born and raised in Ghana, Phreeda Sharp began writing poetry at a young age. Growing up in a musical household, initial ambitions of pursuing a career as a writer were shelved when she discovered her passion for song writing and her knack for clever and witty wordplay.

Her striking image, raw yet playful sound actively promotes female empowerment which gives this innovative up-and-coming star an edge that sets her apart from the rest.  She describes her music as “pieces of me that happen to rhyme” and says, “I really just want to pull together a collection of songs that will make people feel powerful and almost invincible when they listen to it. I want to inject energy and ferocity into whoever is listening so when they come away from my gig or from listening to my track, they feel alive, brand new!”

Phreeda has released two mixtapes “7 Days In The Life of a Sharp Shooter” in 2012 and “Ruby, Sex and Vultures” in 2013 cementing herself as one of the UK’s hottest rising talent.

With a sold out debut headline show at Hoxton Sq Bar & Kitchen under her belt, a feature on Channel 4’s Freshly Squeezed and previous collaborations with producers such as MNEK, Don Diablo and Drumsound & Bassline Smith, Phreeda has also gained commendation on popular blogs such as VIBE.com, MTV The Wrap Up, Soul Culture, Wonderland and many more.

Phreeda announced in May 2014 the release of her forthcoming EP 'Phreedom' which is presently scheduled for an autumn release through her own label, Bad Jane Records. The first track from the EP “Unchained” produced by Canadian producer Ken Waters, with its in-your-face bravado and enchanting melodies, sees Phreeda at her best in a visually provocative video. The song has already caught the attention of bloggers, fans and radio stations.

Phreeda Sharp's upcoming EP symbolizes a captivating creative metamorphosis, with a vast recurring - and ever-honest theme in unmistakable Sharp motif; undiluted freedom to be your own person. The fiercely independent-driven approach for the EP release indicates savvy entrepreneurialism for Phreeda Sharp as a business person, recording artist, video director, and Bad Jane Records Executive.

Phreeda also makes her film debut this summer. Director Amy Mathieson hired Phreeda to write and record a title track for British docu-drama One Way Up, the inspiring story of the Peckham BMX Club, which will be released this summer in 3D through the Oscar-winning team of Shine Global/Jet Set Films. So impressed were they by Phreeda, they gave her a cameo in the film as well as a role as its UK ambassador.

“It’s the real-life story of a group of kids who grew up with nothing, but become successful through a BMX club,” explains Phreeda. “It’s about their journey, their hustle, their struggle, their escape.”

As comfortable performing on stage with just an acoustic guitar, her DJ or a live band, Phreeda Sharp is quickly becoming one of the most intriguing artists to emerge from the UK in a very long time.


Music is the only step that combines the abstract to the concrete.
Antonin Artaud (Source unknown)

I want to tell you something about me. I will not be long.
I'm always looking for the best way to express what's inside me.
I live a normal life
I never paid attention to appear better than I am.
Moody emotional and complex, are three adjectives that describe me best.
Mine is an ongoing investigation.
A desire, an emotion, a shock, a fight, a note, a song, a phrase ...

Music is the harmony of the soul.
Alessandro Baricco, Castles of anger, 1991

The progressive is the only label that I would bring.
I love to travel between all the nuances of sound from electronic to acoustic.

Genesis, Area, Van der Graaf Generator, but Arjen Lucassen, Mike Patton, Kevin Moore, or Herbie Hancock or Louis Armstrong and even Massive attack Ozric Tentacles .... some of my influences.

I always shared my music for free with anyone

I hope you have not lost too much time to read these few lines.

I do not think you are interested in my music studies, the band in which I played or festivals in which I participated.
La musica è il solo passaggio che unisca l'astratto al concreto.

ITALIANO

Antonin Artaud (Fonte sconosciuta)

Voglio parlarvi un pò di me. Non ci metterò molto.
Porto nel cuore le mie origini meridionali,sempre alla ricerca del modo migliore per esprimere quello che ho dentro.
Lavoro, ho una famiglia e una vita normale. 
Non ho mai badato ad apparire migliore di quello che sono. 
Lunatico emotivo e complesso,sono tre aggettivi che mi descrivono meglio. 
La mia è una ricerca continua .
Un desiderio, un'emozione, uno shock, uno scontro, una nota, una canzone, un fraseggio... 

La musica è l'armonia dell'anima. 
Alessandro Baricco, Castelli di rabbia, 1991

Il progressive è l'unica etichetta che mi sento di portare.
 Amo viaggiare tra tutte le sfumature del suono che sia elettronico o acustico. 

Genesis , Area, Van der Graaf Generator, ma anche Arjen Lucassen, Mike Patton , Kevin Moore, oppure Herbie Hancock o Louis Armstrong e anche Massive attack Ozric Tentacles .... alcune delle mie influenze.

Non ho mai rinunciato a condividere la mia musica con chiunque volesse condividerla. 

Spero di non averti fatto perdere troppo tempo nel leggere queste poche righe.

Non credo tu sia interessato ai miei studi musicali, alle band a cui ho suonato o ai festival a cui ho partecipato.

Qualora tu fossi interessato a ulteriori informazioni o a collaborare con il mio progetto, 
ecco tutti i miei contatti
