The Netherlands based songstress is ready to make her presence known with the release of her self-titled 2019 debut, out now. And if her lead single, “Burning For You (Club Mix)” is any indication, the world will be singing and dancing along to her sooner than later.
Her debut single, “Burning For You (Club Mix),” dropped in Fall 2018. Just a few short months after her history with boy bands came full circle opening for O-Town in Portland on their 2018 reunion tour. Sharmila kept the momentum going strong as she said goodbye to 2018 and prepped for a whirlwind in 2019.
Not only did she release the girl power anthem, “Respect Your Body,” but she also has more music up her sleeve. Not only did she release her self-titled in 2019, but already has her sophomore album ready to go. People can look forward to DNA Damage out very soon!
Read our full interview with Sharmila below.
For those who don’t know, how long have you been making music and how would you describe your style?
I started in my 20s, I’m now in my 40s. It’s pop music but the music style can change, it depends on the type of song I wrote.
Could you briefly describe your music making process?
Lyrics often pop up in my mind along with a melody and then I write it down into a song.
What can you tell us about your latest release?
These are songs I wrote in the past with influences from back in time. Uptempo songs where you can dance on.
If you could collaborate with any artist, past or present, who would you choose?
Maybe record a single with O-Town as i already met them.
What do you have planned creatively for the upcoming year?
My 2nd album ´DNA Damage´ is coming up. I´m going through a difficult time right now as i recently lost my 25 year old daughter Tanisha. We´ve been sick from drinking unsafe tapwater in Holland and she died on april 3. I also wrote songs about Tanisha, these songs are coming up too.
