…This was an alarmingly accurate precursor to the rest of her life. In 1996, Sharon glided middle school, armed with piano printed T-shirts & an extra 75 pounds. Along with high school came an identity crisis, at which point Sharon traded in her XXL elastic waistband pants for a sequin-covered drill team outfit, and salad. Lots and lots of salad.
Currently, Sharon lives in NYC and does just that. Her debut album, Pianocentric, was released in August of 2009 to a packed house at Le Poisson Rouge. She is also the composer/lyricist of the award winning musical "Orange Alert" (with Cristina Pippa), as well as a MAC nominee for her piece "Leaky Ceiling". Ms. Kenny is currently the Musical Director of Off-Broadway's "Tony N Tina's Wedding" and has appeared in concerts at the Kennedy Center, Joe's Pub, and Feinstein's. She is currently at work on her second record.

On Christmas Day, 1990, Sharon’s little fingers (and feathered bangs) finally found their match: a 36-key Casio. (She was also given a microphone, which was immediately confiscated due to what her mother deemed “abuse of power”.) It was on that Casio that some of Sharon’s earliest hits, “Daddy” and “That’s Movin’ ” were born.
With a past full of piano & drill team, Sharon took the obvious route and went to college for Musical Theatre! After four years of hard work, Sharon was hit with an epiphany: she’d rather be writing her own songs than performing those of others.
