Raised on Muscle Shoals soul and James Brown funk, Nashville-based artist Kenny Sharp delivers a Southern-fried blend of soul, funk, country, blues, and rock. He calls it “Brown Liquor Music”—a sound that’s smooth, punchy, and deeply rooted.
A former rapper turned vocalist, Sharp writes with a storyteller’s heart and a musician’s ear. He’s worked with sync teams and studios from L.A. to Miami and won Nashville’s 2024 Music City Mayhem, rising to the top of over 650 contestants.
Sharp’s songs are rooted across the American south, offering a rich sonic blend that goes down even easier than the best brown liquor.
