Welcome
Meet Urban Latin artist Shar-C. Born on the beautiful Caribbean island Curacao. Shar-C was influenced by the various musical rhythms of reggae, salsa, calypso, merengue and of course reggaeton.
About the artist
As a youth, Shar-C grew-up living on a farm in the western part of Curaçao with his brother, grandmother, aunts, uncles and nephews. His mother worked on the eastside of the island and his father lived abroad. When he turned 7 years old he moved to a neighborhood called Ghetto in the middle of Curaçao with his mother and 5 years older brother. In spite of all the problems he had to face growing up, Shar-C’s escape remained music.
He won his first talent show at the age of 11. From that point on he was hooked and never stopped making music. As a teen on his home island of Curacao he organized music projects with local children, wrote for other musicians and DJs and performed for large groups of fans.
At the age of 17 Shar-C moved to Holland. A few years later he obtained his degree in social work. He has been working as a youth counselor for the last 15 years. Although he’s loved working with young people, making music has remained his number one passion.
Shar-C has played with different bands and solo artists in and around Amsterdam and has been contracted by major record companies and publishers.
Now with new found inspiration Shar-C has taken his Caribbean influence along with a sprinkle of Dutch-European flavor to create a fresh new Urban Latin sound. Check it for yourself and you will see that you cannot stand still.
