Kevin Sharp Country Music

After remission, Sharp worked at Great America in Santa Clara, California, while working on a demo tape, which he sent to various talent shows, and later to David Foster. Foster acquainted him with A&R agents and, by 1996, Sharp was marked to Asylum Records. His first album, Measure of a Man, was released in September 1996. The album’s first single, a cover version of the R&B artist Tony Rich’s “Nobody Knows”, spent four weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart.

Kevin was named New Touring Artist of the Year by the Country Music Association and nominated for the Top New Male Vocalist award by the Academy of Country Music. In 1998, Sharp crumbled behind the stage at the TNN Music City News Country Awards and was hurried to the medical clinic for emergency surgery, because of issues with steel poles in his hip. He, therefore, needed to drop a few tour dates.

The measure of a Man produced two more top 10 country singles, “She’s Sure Taking It Well” and “If You Love Somebody”. However, the album’s fourth single, “There’s Only You”, only peaked at No. 43. His second album, Love Is, released in 1998 on Elektra/Asylum, failed to produce any successful singles, and Sharp was eventually dropped from Asylum’s roster.

Sharp wrote a book, Tragedy’s Gift, and distributed it in 2004. His third album, Make a Wish, was released on the independent Cupit Records mark in 2005, albeit none of its four singles charted.
