What do you get when you mix an electro drummer, funk rock guitarist,
an afro bassist and a jazz singer...? People often struggle to put
their finger on the genre, but we think afro-pop best describes the
eclectic sound! Introducing jacSharp… jacSharp began as a
musical meeting of minds – with the group forming the live acoustic
band in early 2005. After 2 years of relationship forging, jacSharp
launched as a professional band in 2008. Soon after they had success in
winning the Hewlett Packard Launch your Band Global competition –
flying to Berlin to perform at the celebratory event held by HP for
over 1000 international journalists. Surging forward with a
debut album mixed and engineered by a plethora of acclaimed
international engineers the band has sculpted a foundation for radio
success. With 2 singles already claiming air play prior to the records
release! This did not go un-noticed and jacSharp soon found themselves
enjoying the interest of several major publishing houses. They decided
to go with Peermusic Publishing for all global territories as the
company vision and level of professionalism is of the highest
international standard.Foreseeing a gap in the entertainment
market and with a production vision in mind, the team designed and
created jacSharp Electro – their secondary live show featuring a
spectrum of trip-hop/dance remixes and new songs from their album. The
show takes dance music to its next level – bringing a live element to
the club scene whilst still maintaining the ease of action of the DJ.
jacSharp like to call it their USB plug & play set... With a
residency in the prime Camps Bay party zone at the exclusive club Karma
Lounge, it seems those in the know have already stamped jacSharp
Electro...Hot.jacSharp is: Juliet Harding - who started writing
music at the tender age of 12 and went on to wet her feet in the
advertising world before committing all her energy to music in 2008 ,
Carl Wegelin - who developed a love for song-writing and jamming guitar
throughout his school and university years, will easily shift from
straight rock to his love of funk, reggae and experimental sounds, Ben
Peters - who started out training as a Therapeutic Aroma Therapist but
soon had his hands itching to be banging out the beats that cause heart
palpitations. Ben has strong roots in trip-hop and electro music he
adds an infectious groove to the mix resulting in an undeniable
character to the songs, and Emelio Gassibe –who with his
professionalism, knowledge of music and performance, and incredible
skills on the bass guitar, is definitely the most experienced in the
group, and added the final component to build the solid machine that is
now jacSharp. The eclectic sound that is jacSharp is already
exploding both to the international and South African markets. Their
brand has been established with hundreds of gigs behind them including
prestigious festivals such as ‘South Africa’ day in London, Rocking the
Daisies and Splashy Fen, a music video on DSTV’s MK channel, and
extensive national radio airtime.The vision behind jacSharp
lies in building an empire of diverse business structures interwoven in
the field of the music industry. Their ethical approach and
professional delivery in all areas has lead to a reputation of
efficiency and effectiveness across their band and brand portfolio.If
you dig to the core of this band, you will find something magical that
has been built on a foundation of good times, solid relationships and
musical diversity amongst the members. Through an understanding of
their strengths they have taken this diversity, melted it down, mixed
it together and energetically thrown it at their delighted audiences.Needless
to say, 2009 will see some surprising developments from this unique
band who seem indomitable in their ambition for success.[December 2008]
