About this artist

As both a poet and lyricist, Shari has worked extensively as an advocate for the foster care community, graduating from the University of Southern California (USC) with a Master’s in Social Work in the Department of Social Change & Innovation, and helping to implement policies that create meaningful improvements for at-risk communities across the country.

As a lyricist, she draws on her own experiences growing up in foster care to create meaningful works of art that help to reveal our shared humanity.

With the release of her newest music, Shari has created her most compelling music to date. Filled with deep insights and poetic observations about modern times, these works highlight everything that makes her so unique. With a steady stream of new creations expected for this year and beyond, Shari is poised to inspire generations to come.
