Hello IGiggIt children and welcome to the Artist of the Month blog for August. I’m delighted to announce that the artist we’re paying homage to for shiny August is Sharon Paquette!

What an astoundingly awesome singer she is too; she more than deserves to be artist of the month for her breathtaking track ‘Still Your Girl’ Her voice literally gives me goosebumps which, other than men in suits/uniforms and/or a sharp breeze, hardly ever happens.

On her bio, it’s says that Sharon’s work…

‘… has haunting melodies reminiscent of Evanescence and the grittiness of blues singer-songwriter Joss Stone, Sharon Paquette showcases a voice that exhibits rich tonal confidence. Her fresh and honest lyrics cut the soul and breathe new life into relevant themes of hope and perseverance’

And I agree! Except for the Joss Stone bit; to be honest, I think Sharon is in a class above Ms Stone if only for the sophistication of her vocals and the fact she doesn’t have to have her head surgically removed from her own sphincter region every morning.

Sharon has the book learnin’ to go with her awesome talent too… before pursuing her singing career, Sharon studied voice, classical singing, music theory, and composition at the University of Windsor. She later taught these things herself at a school in Ontario as well as tutoring song writing workshops.

So, we’ve established that she’s got an amazing voice, an awesome band, excellent technical abilities, writes beautiful lyrics and has a face so pretty it makes angels weep… why then is Sharon not at number one all over the world? Well, the music biz is a fickle mistress but we at IGiggIt have no doubt that Sharon will be a global superstar very soon.

Her tracks are available from her own website and on iTunes so it won’t be long a’comin!

Congratulations Sharon and please do keep providing us with your music; it’s like auditory crack so hook us up soon!

That’s it for now but don’t forget to tell your friends about IGiggIt and just how freakin’ wonderful we are… because we are.

I’ll be back soon with a review of one of our upcoming auditions so until then, let’s be tuneful out there kids, and let’s never eat yellow snow or play chicken with a real chicken; they’ll win every time. Also, never get into a stranger’s van unless the nice man offers you sweets or has a real cute puppy.
