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..."

Sharyn Maceren Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I see him there
Watching from the dance floor and
He's lookin' fine
All the girls stare but I promise
He'll be mine
All I really need is just
A little more time
But he will come
Any second just before the
Night is done
'Cause he can tell the way I'm dancin'
We'll have fun
From the time we meet until we
See the sun
Pre-Chorus
I want him to know
That this ain't a show
No, I will teach him a lesson
Chorus
One and One
Together it all adds up to you and me
Don't sit and watch like I'm a fantasy
I'm really here
So come and dance with me
One and One
Together it all adds up to you and me
I can't stand watching you just
Watching me
Don't you think it's time you come and
Dance with me
Verse III
I see him walk
Over to me 'cause he finally wants to talk
He asks me if I'll dance with him 'til
2 O'clock
I hold his hand and I can hear
My heart unlock
Verse IV
I guess he saw
Everytime I smiled and tried to
Look over
That I was hinting we should
Get together
I'm so glad he realized what I tried
To do
Pre-Chorus II
But more than that
I'm just so glad
I could teach him the lesson
Sharyn Maceren's song "One and One" is a story of a girl's romantic interest in a guy at a club. In the first verse, she sees him on the dance floor and is captivated by his appearance. Although other girls are admiring him, she has her sights set on him and believes he will eventually be hers. The second verse hints that her intuition is right as she expects him to approach her and dance with her before the night ends because he can tell she's interested in him. The pre-chorus emphasizes that she wants to teach him that her attraction to him is genuine, and not just a performance or a show.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the idea of two people coming together, where "one and one" equals "you and me." She wants him to know that she's not just a fantasy, but a real person who wants to dance with him. In the third verse, he finally walks over to her and asks her to dance with him till 2 o'clock. She holds his hand, and her heart opens up, indicating her excitement at the prospect of spending time with him. The final verse shows that the guy has realized that she was hinting that they should get together, and they both seem to be happy to have connected. Through this story, the artist portrays the importance of being genuine and confident about one's feelings of attraction.

I see him there
I notice him standing on the dance floor
Watching from the dance floor and
He is observing the people dancing
He's lookin' fine
He is attractive
All the girls stare but I promise
Other girls are looking at him as well, but I am certain that he will be mine
He'll be mine
I will win his heart
All I really need is just
I require only
A little more time
More time to interact with him
But he will come
He will approach me
Any second just before the
In a moment, before the
Night is done
The night ends
'Cause he can tell the way I'm dancin'
He can sense my feelings through the way I move
We'll have fun
We will enjoy our time together
From the time we meet until we
From when we meet until the moment we
See the sun
The sun rises
I want him to know
I desire for him to comprehend
That this ain't a show
This is not a performance
No, I will teach him a lesson
I will demonstrate to him something important
One and One
We are both one
Together it all adds up to you and me
When we unite, we become one
Don't sit and watch like I'm a fantasy
Do not view me as fictional
I'm really here
I am present and tangible
So come and dance with me
Please come dance with me
I can't stand watching you just
It is unbearable for me to see only
Watching me
You observing me
Don't you think it's time you come and
Do you not believe it is appropriate for you to
Dance with me
Join me on the dance floor
I see him walk
I perceive him approaching me
Over to me 'cause he finally wants to talk
Towards me since he finally wishes to converse
He asks me if I'll dance with him 'til
He inquires if I will dance with him until
2 O'clock
2 a.m.
I hold his hand and I can hear
I grab his hand and I can listen
My heart unlock
My heart opening up to the possibility of love
I guess he saw
I assume he noticed
Every time I smiled and tried to
Each instance I smiled and attempted to
Look over
Look at him directly
That I was hinting we should
That I was implying we should
Get together
Commence a relationship
I'm so glad he realized what I tried
I am elated he comprehended what I attempted
To do
To accomplish
But more than that
Moreover
I'm just so glad
I am ecstatic
I could teach him the lesson
I was able to instruct him an important value
