Bio

Cindee D?Lynn Sharp. That?s my name, though it was almost Cecelia (and my nickname would have been that of a popular American pizza chain). I was born on August 6, 1976 in Fredericksburg, Texas to Mr. and Mrs. Charles Damon Sharp, a day after their tenth wedding anniversary. There is truth to the rumor that I was nearly born in an H.E.B. grocery store.

I grew up listening to a diverse assortment of music, including still favorites Fleetwood Mac, Blondie, Journey, and Juice Newton. I was a band nerd in school and played the flute in the award-winning, occasional state championship-winning LBJ Fighting Eagle marching and concert bands.

My fondness for industrial and new wave stylings began when I discovered Depeche Mode?s ?Violator? album. I often claim to be ?The Female Depeche Mode? with aspirations of also holding the title ?The Female Nine Inch Nails.? I write both music and lyrics and play piano and keyboards--at times acoustic, at times electronic--in a genre I refer to as Mild Industrial Blues.
