"Garshar aka Songbird's R&B music and bio"
My original name is Garshar, but they call me "Tha Songbird", since high school. I'm a Neo-Soul/Contemporary/R & B/Gospel artist, coming straight from the church house. I grew up in D-Town (Dallas, TX.), and I love all kinds of music, except Heavy metal. I've been a singer since I can remember and grew up on gospel and soul music, and I never really began to come into who I was and wanted to be, until I was 15, when I started writing and singing my own style and flavor, and have also written about over 150 songs. I have major love 4 real original and unique music that touches people. Who have inspired me are artists like: God (the most creative artist ever), my mother Patricia(RIP), Dinah Washington, Stevie Wonder, Anita Baker, Lauryn Hill, India.Arie, Emily King, Mariah Carey, Sara Bareilles, The Roots, Bob Marley, BoyslikeGirls, Robin Thicke, Minnie Riperton, Flyleaf, Marie' Digby, Michelle Williams, Kirk Franklin, Fergie, Chrisette Michele, Musiq that Soulchild, Faith Hill, and my boys out of D-town, Sammy aka Hampton and Deon(from our duet Satisfaction). My resume includes opening up for, singing for, and with artist such as: Erykah Badu, Angie Stone, The Disciples of Creation, gospel singer, Josh Harrel, and( new upcoming artists)Sammy aka Hampton, and Deon. Currently, I'm in a play called, "Lord, Please Don't Pass Me By", by Hazel Baker. So look for me on this acting thing, also. I pray to someday produce and own my own record company to give other struggling artists, like me, a chance to pursue and live their creativity.
