Marchelle Sharpe - SR .VP
Marchelle Sharpe studied E-business and Web design at CTU and Business Management at Davenport University. Her love of music and writing comes from her early years of playing the violin and flute. During high school, she honed her writing skills and garnered the Quill and Scroll Award for journalism. She was also the only student to be in the Who’s Who Among American High School Students in 1988 for business from HPCHS.
Writing in the background for local artist and her knowledge of A & R, she shelved some of her projects, to raise her children. Working as a Project Coordinator for a local health insurance company, she decided to use all her knowledge in business management to transfer over into artist management; specializing in personal development.
She believes that Personal Development, in the life cycle of an artist, is just as important as their “gifts”. Music is a universal language and she enjoys seeing people “move and groove” to many different genres of music.
