đď¸ LOOK OUT đď¸ for 'People Are Strange' on 23rd Sep
Sharky brings to life a world of colourful surrealism with ambiguous lyrics and a distinctive vocal styling, drawing on aspects of Soul and Jazz, touching on Hip Hop, and swirling with indie and art rock essence. Long before becoming Sharky, Georgia Mason always loved sharks; âwhen I was small, I would sit in the pub and tell people all about themâ. With her grandad a paratrooper in the army, Sharkyâs family settled in Aldershot, a military town in Hampshire. Growing up close to her grandparents, Sharky would listen to her Nan â Joan â singing around the house. Georgia began to craft the unique Sharky sound taking inspiration from Joanâs high soprano tones and the cross-generational vocal similarities with the women in her family. After a spell of writing as âGeorgia Masonâ, she started to collaborate with other artists including Speakman Sound, Franc Moody and LONO. In this musical collective, she found a home of like-minded and creative free spirits. Stirring these artists in a mixing pot of entertaining collaboration, late night sessions, true experimentation, and self-exploration; Sharkyâs musical project came to life. Steering the ship alongside Sharky was producer Todd Speakman (Speakman Sound, LONO), with the duoâs relationship growing into a strong bond, both musically and privately - If Sharky is a shark, Todd is at least one fin.
