Dan Sharp

Armed with his guitar, an inimitable knack for writing unifying songs, and captivating crowds from festival stages to small clubs, Dan Sharp is skilled in the art of creating thoughtful, considered music with an impact that leaves audiences wanting more.

“I always aspire to be authentic in the pursuit of something beautiful. That can mean being vulnerable at times, but if it’s not real, then it’s not worth it,” says Sharp.

Blackout Music says following the release of two EPs and numerous singles in recent years, resulting in more than a million streams on Spotify alone, Sharp is gearing up towards the next stage of his career, with debut album Between the Brave, Bold and Given Up, set to arrive in early 2024.

From early years as a solo singer-songwriter, Dan Sharp has spent years honing his skills to evolve into an accomplished, dedicated musician and producer who approaches the craft with integrity and authenticity.

Self-funded and self-produced, Dan drew together a band of accomplished musicians to play on his new project: Stan Bicknell on drums, Brad Craig on bass, Will Henderson on keys, and Johnny Mclean on horns and percussion.

“The song felt important to me as it touched on something real. The cyclical nature of damage and misunderstanding that is unresolved, passed down through generations and permeating outwards. I thought of some of the men I knew and something clicked. It’s everywhere. We carry our wounds in the way we talk and walk. Overlay our societies’ stoic approach to masculinity, and we’re where we are in terms of suffering mental health and the tragic implications that has.”
