Early life

Sharpe was born in Cleveland, Ohio. During his teenage years, his parents spotted his talent as an entertainer and relocated to Los Angeles, California so that he could pursue a career in show business. Sharpe experienced early success soon after the move: he starred in the NBC Saturday morning series "Guys Next Door," was signed as a singer to Sony Records by Tommy Mottola, and toured as a backup dancer for the pop star Tiffany. He also appeared in a Pepsi commercial featuring Madonna's "Like A Prayer," as well as over twenty five national commercials and TV guest star spots.[1] His personal passion for the music of Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Prince and George Michael, however, ultimately inspired Damon to focus foremost on his career in music producing and songwriting.
