This bio is boring. Find out more about me on my personal page:http://www.myspace.com/4632170 ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------Sharif has been performing for less than 5 years, but has already earned a strong fan base on both the East and West Coasts. Sharif's popularity as an artist is rooted in his innovative sound, distinctive airy voice, and electrifying stage presence. His music is smart poetry, an appealingly inventive blend of edgy emo sounds with likable pop rhythms. Critics proclaim that "Sharif's vocals soar throughout," and that his songs are bursting "with strong, confident vocals and lyrical content." For his latest record, 'Surrogate Lovers,' Sharif recruited members of Whiskeytown, Jason Mraz, David Gray and The Pernice Brothers. Various songs have already been picked up for the popular rock compilations "Stations Break" and "Decent Xposure, and his first single "You're My Girl" appears in the hit TV show "South of Nowhere."
