Sarah Sharp is an Austin-based jazz singer and songwriter whose signature sound fuses jazz, vintage pop, folk, and cinematic storytelling. Known for her warm, captivating vocals and poetic lyrics, Sharp has become a defining voice in Austin’s creative music scene, consistently named Austin’s Best Jazz performer. Sarah brings an unmistakable charisma to every stage, weaving together wit, elegance, and emotional depth.

The Houston-born and raised performer is a soulful songwriter and so much more. She masters Americana, Pop, and old-school country music while exploring other sounds and collaborations. And it's hard not to fall in love with her whole persona. As one reviewer wrote, she’s a little bit Tina Fey.

Sharp so impressed Michael Feinstein that he featured Sarah on his national radio show, Song Travels. Feinstein noted its beauty and pastoral feel, adding of one of her originals, “That is the kind of song that has such a classic quality to it and it’s a song that could have been written a long time ago, and yet it speaks so much to the world now, and I think it will speak to people wherever it’s heard.”

Sharp’s pedigree includes touring internationally with the Jitterbug Vipers, whose 2013 self-produced album “Phoebe’s Dream,’ earned Top 5 placements in Austin Music Awards categories for Best Female Vocalist, Producer, Songwriter, Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Band of the Year, and Best Jazz Band. The record was added to more than 90 radio stations in the U.S. and Canada.   

Some of Austin’s most seasoned musicians create the foundation of Sharp’s sound. Her current band holds a weekly residency at Austin’s Elephant Room. The music is a direct result of the living, breathing, and ever-evolving interpretations of the songs played week after week. Sharp describes her band as quintessential jazz musicians. “They are immensely talented in a way that allows them to bring a vital sense of improvisation to the music they make. They never play a song the same way twice.”

Sharp is working on a new release built partially on the confidence of electric-guitar great Eric Johnson, who was so moved by Sharp’s talent at an Austin performance that he gifted her the use of his Austin studio space while he headlined the Jimi Hendrix Experience tour.

Similarly, Sharp’s performance previously caught the eye of Andre Fischer (Rufus and Chaka Khan drummer, award-winning producer), who connected her with 20-time Grammy-winning recording engineer Al Schmitt. Together, the three recorded her Capitol Sessions, including four of her original songs, at celebrated Capitol Studios in Hollywood.  

Her voice, like a siren, has been in demand in dozens (and dozens) of films and television shows, including ABC TV series Revenge, NBC’s The Good Wife and Netflix’s Cable Girls along with international advertising campaigns for high-profile brands such as Kia, E.L.F. Cosmetic, and Macy’s, for which she won a Silver Telly and Gold Addy Award.

Global powerhouse Universal Music Group has banked on Sarah’s songwriting and recording talents for more than 15 years. With Andrea Perry in their duo Kaliyo, she’s written 50+ songs for UMG, with 158 cue sheets and counting.

 Sarah's voice shines in tracks like Take What You Can Get—featured in Playboy Channel promos and streamed 1.8M+ times on Spotify. Globally, people are tuning in to Sarah, whether in a Chinese Dell commercial, a German dating show theme song, or as Karl Lagerfeld’s personal song choice for Chanel’s Spring/Summer campaign.

Additionally, when Starbucks curated its quintessential Jazz Vocals playlist, it featured legendary greats Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan, and Nina Simone; however, nestled between them is Sarah Sharp, with her eloquent vocals added to songs she penned. Her soothing sounds also, are also on the multinational coffee chain’s Sunday Brunch playlist.
