Born in California's Central Valley, Sharp and her family moved to Los Angeles when she was five. Following in the footsteps of her Grammy-winning songwriter father, Randy Sharp (Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris etc.), she studied music theory at California State University Northridge, but was originally a saxophonist. Her focus as a songwriter and then performer - initially influenced by Raitt, Ricky Lee Jones, Paul Simon, and her dad - emerged only at the turn of her 20s.
