Sharell Bryant, Taylor Bloom, Christine Baird

Sharell Bryant

Writing from the soul, NYC-based independent songwriter Sharell Bryant ponders universal insecurities, fears and heartache with vital, pop-leaning originality. Hailing from Philadelphia, the 28-year-old has always looked to music to navigate the unknown, and to process the pressures of trying to be your best self, every day. Detailing the intricacies of first loves, enduring friendships and simply trying to survive in a new city, Bryant embraces everything that’s thrown at her, with ear-worm worthy melodies and warm, rousing vocals. Now, on her debut EP, the songwriter brings together almost a decade of work that offers a poignant reflection of the past, while offering an optimistic lens for the future.
