Kevin Sharp grew up in Weiser, Idaho in a musical family of seven children. Between farm chores and running the local diner, the family would sing at area church functions. They moved to Sacramento, California as Kevin was entering his second year of high school. A gifted athlete who excelled in several sports, Kevin began experiencing fatigue and unexplained pain that was later diagnosed as a rare form of bone cancer (Ewings Sarcoma) that had spread to his lungs. A senior in high school, Kevin was told that his chance of survival was slim. Uncertain if he would live six months, Kevin was introduced to the Make A Wish Foundation, which grants wishes to children with life-threatening illnesses. They honored his wish of meeting producer/performer David Foster, whose friendship sustained Kevin through two grueling years of chemotherapy, experimental drugs, and radiation treatments, as well as opening a door for Kevin to pursue his goal to become a successful country artist. To everyone's surprise, Kevin went into remission in 1991. He has never forgotten the generosity of the Make A Wish Foundation, and currently acts as a national spokesperson for the group.

After surviving the many ups and downs of the music business the past few years, Kevin has just signed a recording contract with Cupit Records! He has also just released his first book, "Tragedy's Gift", which encourages others to never give up on life or on their dreams, which is available for sale at www.sharpbook.com. Touring, motivational speaking, writing, and singing better than ever, look for Kevin to be back on top where millions of fans can see and hear him once again.
