Myc Sharratt

Vancouver Island Male Vocalist of the Year 2007

About Me

Myc Sharratt grew up on Vancouver Island listening to his parent’s record collection. At age 15 Sharratt picked up the guitar and within two years he was wowing audiences earning back to back spots in annual international guitar festivals. After a brief stint at the influential Malaspina University Jazz program Sharratt realized he was more interested in performing music than studying it. In November 2004 Sharratt independently released "Incomplete" a collection of both full band and acoustic recordings. Full of creative songwriting and striking guitar playing the album captures the honesty and passion of an emerging talent. In April 2007 Sharratt drew 5 Vancouver Island Music Award nominations for his sophomore album “Blueprint” including a win for best male vocalist. Sharratt has earned a reputation as a great live act playing shows with established artists (Hayley Sales, Hedley, Corb Lund, Blue Rodeo) while headlining well over 125 shows annually across North America. With this in mind Sharratt decided to capture a live show at the Malaspina Theater in December 2007. The result is “Nearly Gone”, a 12 song portrait of an honest artist on top of his game.
