MY NAME IS DAVID SHARPE, BETTER KNOWN AS “PAPAHUGS”. I ​HAVE BEEN WRITING, RECORDING AND PERFORMING MUSIC FOR ​CHILDREN FOR THE PAST 18 YEARS. DURING THAT TIME I HAVE ​RECORDED THREE CDS, WITH THE THIRD ONE BEING NOMINATED ​FOR A GRAMMY® AWARD. I HAVE PERFORMED FOR THOUSANDS ​OF CHILDREN AROUND THE COUNTRY. ALL MY MUSIC COMES ​FROM OBSERVATIONS OF THE WONDERFUL AND IMAGINATIVE ​THINGS CHILDREN SAY AND DO. MANY OF MY SONGS HAVE BEEN ​INFLUENCED BY MY OWN CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN. MY ​MUSIC IS INTERACTIVE, UPBEAt, EDUCATIONAL AND JUST ​PLAIN FUN. DURING A PAPAHUGS PERFORMANCE THERE ARE ​COLORFUL CHARACTERS AND EVEN FUN ITEMS TO TAKE HOME. ​IT IS VERY REWARDING TO GIVE CHILDREN THE OPPORTUNITY TO ​BE PART OF A LIVE MUSIC CONCERT AND ALSO TO HAVE MY ​SONGS AVAILABLE ON VARIOUS ONLINE PLATFORMS
