Sharina Louise Sharpe has been on the New York scene for quite some time, from jams to bands to weddings to BACKGROUNDS FOR RIHANNA IN MUSIC OF THE SUN, and I have been very lucky to meet her as a friend, initially. She brings her lush, powerful voice and combines her fiery energy in a way that is so warm, grounding, and absolutely beautiful. We talk about art, motherhood, Native New York-ness (what's good Taylor Swift??), and what it means to let your freak flag fly.
