ASCAP features Austin singer songwriter Sarah Sharp in prestigious Audio Portrait series

AUSTIN, TX (ASCAP) - ASCAP, the leading performance rights organization for songwriters, has added Sarah Sharp to the list of talented songwriters featured in their Audio Portrait series.

The ASCAP audio portrait is a unique format created by BEHINDtheBEAT.com, which uses state of the art technology and production techniques to craft profiles of artists in the context of their newly released material. Listeners are able to hear the artist discuss the underlying foundation behind the songs and music.

Sarah Sharp, refreshing new singer songwriter from Austin, TX, kicked her career into overdrive with a highly attended showcase during SxSW Music Conference in March. The addition of ASCAP's Audio Portrait is a compliment to Sharp's promotional efforts in supporting her debut release, Fourth Person. The 12 track album was produced by Dan Workman who is most noted for his work with Beyonce, Destiny's Child and ZZ Top. Fourth Person is attracting attention from radio, print and online media where the song "Run" is at #13 on Garageband's indie music site.

With tour dates throughout Texas, Oregon and Washington, this summer is heating up for Sarah Sharp. She has appeared on numerous stations throughout Texas including KGSR, KLBJ, KPFT, KUGS, CFUR and KUT.
