Musician, Producer and beat maker

Musician, producer and beat maker, Sharkey, got his start as one of the
preeminent DJ's on the DC scene. He's since worked and performed with such
heavyweights as Eminem, The Black Eyed Peas, Rick Rubin, Everlast, Spank
Rock, Jedi Mind Tricks, Kool Keith, and Wyclef Jean. As well as motion
picture soundtrack credits from Adam Sandler's "Big Daddy", Vin Diesel's
"Strays" and handfuls of song apperances in Rockstar and XBOX 360 video
games. As a producer, Sharkey has been tapped by some of the biggest
artists across genres for production work and is currently working on
multiple major label releases for 2008.

Sharkey's debut album, Sharkey's Machine (Babygrande) was credited by The
Washington Post as one of "The Top 10 Best Records of 2004". A hip-hop
heavy, electronica, and rock-laden reflection of his diverse musicality,
Sharkey's Machine features guest appearances by Cannibal Ox, The Pharcyde,
Jean Grae, Grand Puba of Brand Nubian and Cherrywine (Butterfly of Grammy
Award winning group Digable Planets) and features co-production by Mario
Caldato Jr. (Beastie Boys) and Mickey Petralia (Beck).

Sharkey's most current album release, Monster Maker (Babygrande) was given
a B+ by Entertainment Weekly and 4 out of 5 stars from Urb Magazine. Its
been labeled by many as one of the best album of 2007 and proves Sharkey's
staying quality as one of the most ecclectic and constantly evolving
artists in the game.

You can catch Sharkey on the regular touring the globe. Or at one of his
many monthly parties he throws around the country.

It doesn't stop there, with his recent partnership in the lifestyle
clothing inprint, Drumbums Global, Sharkey now has his hands in design,
management and a newly formed record label launching in 2008.
