I am Sharon White, who grew up at Kogarah Bay as a child. My family moved to Dee Why when I was about 18, there I lived, met the love of my life and had a child. Where we brought our beautiful son Joshua up, we lived 5 minutes from the beach. Josh my son lived on the beach. Andy Josh's father unfortunately died when josh was only 5 years old. I would take my guitar down to the beach and sit in the sun and write my own songs. When Josh was old enough I wanted to play live, so I went and watched other people playing live and asked them HOW DO I GET STARTED? I learned from other people. I bought my own PA, I bought a lot of backing tracks, I locked myself away from the world for about 9 months, and I leant every cover song that was popular to man. In 1999 I recorded a demo, then I walked and drove around and took my demo to every hotel I could until I got a gig. I was on my way. My first gig was at the Reversby Hotel, I lugged the gear by myself, I set up by myself and I played by myself. I was terrified but I did it and I was proud of myself I got paid and I went home a happy lady.
