Producer Glenn Gutierrez (known for his works with Jocelyn Enriquez, Jaya, Stevie B.) witnessed that potential for himself. With the desire to work together and after months of heavy negotiating, Sharyn was picked up by Glenn's record label, Planet Hype, (home to R&B group, "Pinay" and Latin Dance Diva, "M:G") which was built with partners JP Nebres and Matt Villacarte. Sharyn's debut album would soon become Glenn's first project under the Planet Hype flagship.
The album which was titled, "Always Dreamin", evolved into a lush collection of Dance, Pop, and R&B music. Sharyn decided to name it that because 'Always Dreamin' was the one song on the CD that said everything about how she felt at the time. "Although my passion to make my dreams come true grew stronger as time went by, I seriously had a one track mind ever since I was a little girl. Everything revolved around music... making music, enjoying music... trying to get in the music biz." She adds, "In essence, "Always Dreamin" is the perfect caption for who I am at heart."
It is that heart and that voice that quickly launched her latest single, "When The Record Spins". Jazzy Jim, SF's legendary DJ, played the funktified dance track directly off the album and broke Sharyn's record before it was officially released. Afterwards, the single continued to get airplay during Jazzy's 5 O'clock Traffic Jam (hosted by St. John) and Jose Melendez' "WiLD Workout At Noon". Steadily, another Sharyn Maceren single would make its way to stations across the country.
Soon, "Always Dreamin" was sold out in stores. With all lyrics and melodies composed by the songstress herself, it was amazing to see her album ranking in the Top 1% at major retailers, including Amazon.com. Demonstrating that her music can stand side by side amongst all major label releases, Sharyn proved what JV of the notorious "Doghouse" had thought all along. During their highly listened to morning show, JV predicted On-air, "There will be nothing left on the shelves... I guarantee it!"
Aside from her immense musical talent, which also includes producing and playing the piano, Sharyn is probably known just as much for her down to earth nature. Performing and making appearances just about every single weekend, Sharyn always takes time to meet with her listeners. Sharyn reveals, "I have the coolest fans! They are so sweet... and I love it when they analyze my music. I always get surprised because I can't imagine so many people paying attention to what I'm saying."
But with lyrics on songs like "A Little More Time" , "New" [As if we've never touched before/Like I'm a stranger at your door/Pretend you're wanting to explore"] and "In Just One Night" [Ain't it funny how life is/ I used to be the one/ Always worried 'bout if he/ Was creepin' with someone/ Then it ends up that I am/ The one I always feared] --- how can one not pay attention? In every track, Sharyn grabs you with clever and innovative storytelling.
Musically, Sharyn more often than not brings fun, energetic and melodic tracks to the plate. On songs like "A Love Divine" and "Ain't No Love", however, Sharyn slows it down a bit and reveals her passion for R&B music. On the candid "Sharyn Uncovered" track, Sharyn displays a day in the life of recording as she prepared to capture Keyboard-and-Vocal-Only segments of several tracks on the CD. Not knowing her chitchat was going to make it in, this session developed a series of bloops and blunders as well as numerous "Behind the Scenes" conversations with Glenn. While Sharyn could've easily cut the mishaps out of the picture, Sharyn decided to keep them on the album because she noticed that it not only offered an even more personal touch to the record but it also revealed another side to this sweetsexyreal Bay Area artist. It ended up revealing her goofy side!
When Sharyn's not busy sharing the stage with artists like Frankie J., Natalise, and One Vo1ce, she continually remains busy working on production for her 2nd album and writing music for other artists.
Because, as Sharyn always says, "It's all about the music..."

I wanna make you feel brand

Your door
Pretend you're wanting to

Baby, baby gotta tell ya
There is no one else i want
Just wanna give you that good feelin'
But give it back and make it hot

When they can see that you're
So fine and cool
Yes, every girl would want to be me

@spquigley38 She has. She was huge back in the late 90's. I remember when hard to get came out. Her songs have even been used in the bay area earthquake mixes. I can't wait till she decides to promote herself again. On a side note, you sounded better without auto-tune Sharyn.
