Sharon Murphy comes from Clifden, Co. Galway. Her music could be described as Irish-soul-folk music with reggae influences, due to Sharon's Caribbean heritage. Much of Sharon's music comes out of her personal experiences growing up in Ireland. Sharon has performed all over Ireland as well as performing in the US, England and Germany. She featured in an RTE Radio documentary called Growing Up Different, in which she talked about being a Black Woman in a white society and about using her songs and music to express herself.
