Upcoming Album
'Round The Bend
'Round The Bend is Sharon's debut full-length album, and the clearest picture yet of who she is as an artist. Shaped over the course of nearly five years, the record brings together the full range of her musical identity: bassist, singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist. More than a collection of songs, it marks a turning point. A coming of age in music, built around the decision to stop waiting for life to happen and start moving toward it.
The album moves through loss, fear, reflection, and empowerment, with each track offering a different piece of that arc. Its sound draws from folk, indie, pop, electronic, alternative and broader global influences, often combining those worlds rather than sitting neatly inside any one of them. At its core, 'Round The Bend is about stepping outside old comfort zones, building new ones, and breaking those open too.
Though Sharon is known first as a bassist, this is not a bass-driven showcase record. The priority throughout are the songs themselves: what they need, what they carry, and what serves them best. Across the album, she takes on the vast majority of the creative work herself, handling the writing, production, multi-instrumental parts, and overall sonic direction.
Confirmed contributors to the record include Yogev Gabay on drums, Jonathan Hazan on guitar, Yotam Ishay on piano for If I Could Do It All Over Again, Yoel Genin on rhythm guitar for Round The Bend, and Amira Gill and Lydia Renold on additional vocals for Painted By Numbers.
Currently in its final stages of writing and production, 'Round The Bend is both a milestone and a leap of faith: a record that found its identity alongside the person making it.

Berklee Indian Ensemble
Visit WebsiteThe Berklee Indian Ensemble began in 2011 as a student ensemble founded by Annette Philip (now Zahara), bringing together musicians grounded in or inspired by Indian music. What started at Berklee quickly grew beyond the school, gaining international attention and collaborating with some of the most respected artists in Indian music. In 2017, the ensemble evolved into a professional project, gradually moving from a rotating lineup to its current core members.
Sharon joined the ensemble in 2016, initially rotating on bass and singing in the choir, before her role expanded over the years into a wider creative presence as bassist, vocalist, composer, and arranger. She contributed the fan-favorite original “Aakash” to the ensemble’s debut album Shuruaat, performing both lead vocals and bass on the track. As bassist, vocalist, and composer on Shuruaat, she was part of the Grammy-nominated team behind the ensemble’s debut release.
The ensemble’s sound blends classical Indian vocals, rhythms, and instrumentation with Western instruments and a progressive edge, creating a powerful meeting point between musical worlds. Sharon is also one of the main composers and arrangers on the upcoming second album, which is currently in pre-production and roughly 90% written. With recording planned for October/November 2026 and release anticipated as early as spring 2027, the new record also marks a shift in sound, with a much stronger bass presence than previous releases and plenty for bass players to dig into.
This section can also cover both past and present chapters of the project, including the previous album cycle, live shows, and anything connected to the upcoming work.

Yellow Crane
Yellow Crane is a modern noir/grunge-leaning alternative rock project founded in 2025 by Katrina Rose Agnew and Jonathan Hazan. The band sits in a darker, mood-driven space, balancing grit and atmosphere with melodic writing and moments of release.
Sharon joined the project soon after its formation, bringing bass, keys, and vocals into the fold, along with a strong focus on vocal harmony writing and live technical direction. While most of her vocal work sits in the background, she also contributes to composition, arranging, and production where needed.
Following the release of their debut EP If You’re Still Awake, the band is currently working on its next chapter, with a second EP planned for summer 2026.
Artist Collaborations
Selected Projects
A mix of projects Sharon has been part of across recording, live performance, and writing. Different spaces, different roles, and a broader look at the work beyond her core collaborations.
Origin Story
Jazzaar Festival
These recordings are releases of live performances from the Jazzaar Festival in Aarau, Switzerland, an international music festival co-founded by Sharon’s parents, Fritz & Helen Renold. Growing up around it meant being surrounded by artists and music from all over the world.
The projects shown here all feature Sharon as a performer and capture a small part of that environment. More than a single project, it represents the foundation of her approach to music: open, collaborative, and not tied to one style.

It’s designed to help players build confidence in learning music directly from recordings, rather than relying on written material.
