She performs a couple of these original songs at her Church.

According to Sharyn’s parents, she has been singing since before she could speak sentences. She started writing her own songs at the age of ten. The first song she ever wrote is titled “friends,” which she performed on the steps of Wells Jr high in Newell, West Virginia for her classmates.

She has worked with many local musicians such as Doug Smith, Brett Hartenbach, Dave Morgan, and Keith Williams, to name ONLY a few and has worked with Kent Cox, Fred Ludovici and the MRM band (Mad river Men) on projects such as, “American Veteran” for the Lincoln Park Preforming Arts Center, which was released in May of 2015 as the theme song for the school’s “Heroes” project. You can find it on cdbaby.com.  Sharyn, a CO-writer on the song, recorded it at the Henry Mancini Arts Academy recording studio, which is a part of Lincoln Park, along with writer, Kent Cox, as well as Fred Ludovici, John Ash and Steve Poole and Dave Calhoon.

Sharyn also wrote a musical score titled “Agent Orange” for the Lincoln Park Performing Arts Center Heroes Project Play, which debuted in April of 2016. She has also written the theme song for the East Liverpool’s Got Talent Community Choir titled “Together We Can Do Amazing Things.”
