A former professional soccer player, Dane Sharp’s knee was shattered along with his dreams. However, in a life changing moment, a friend gave him an old guitar for comfort and he was soon busking and playing backyard parties.
From there it was a natural progression to open mic nights, restaurants then bars and touring trips out west, also playing in a duo “Country Bound” honing his Country rhythms.
In January 2006, Dane played a series of shows in Nashville and worked with some of country music’s leading songwriters and musicians, such as Luann Reid (Kenny Chesney) and Brett Manning (Keith Urban).
Signing to independent label Touchwood Productions in 2007, Dane released his debut album Nothing to Lose in February 2008. Produced by award-winning producer Duncan Wood, Nothing to Lose is available to order in all good music stores across Australia and to download via iTunes.
2008 was a big year for Dane. Along with releasing his debut album, his first two video clips (Nothing to Lose and Alone in the RSL) were released on CMC (with a new one coming soon). Dane has been featured in Capital News and the Tamborine Times and was nominated for a Gold Medallion Award, as well as a TSA New Songwriter of the Year Award with co-writer Charles Daoud.
A gifted singer/songwriter, Dane has performed at the Songwriters’ Café, the Next Generation Station Stage and Town Square Stage at the Urban Country Music Festival in Caboolture, Queensland Music Festival’s Lift Every Voice and started off 2009 with three performances at the Tamworth Country Music Festival (Buttercup Stage, Coca-Cola Stage and TREC Outdoor Stage) – just to name a few. Dane and label-mate Caroline Taylor-Knight are currently in rehearsals with the Touchwood band for upcoming shows and tours and a live DVD they’ll be shooting in the coming months. The sky is the limit for this exciting new talent.
Special thanks goes to Don Morrisson from National Music for all his support with Dane's career, his TANGLEWOOD guitar endorsement and also for being the key person in leading Dane to the signing with Touchwood Productions.

I know that many artists from North America don't have their music videos uploaded to German video websites. The most popular websites are MyVideo.de and ClipFish.de. That means your European audience does not have the chance to find them.
I understand that most of you don't speak German and are not able to upload videos because of the language barrier. If you would like me to upload your videos to the German video websites, please let me know.
Thanks
