A#Sharp

asharp.org - "Welcome to the website of: A#Sharp" akilsharp.com - The Official Site of Akil Sharp The name "Akil Sharp" comes from A#'s original birth name, which included the middle name "Akil". The "Sharp" came about from an "old lady in church [that] said [he] always looked sharp." The line stuck with him and eventually he just put the Akil and Sharp together. It also has a musical significance. Some non-musicians (and musicians too for that matter) don't realize that "#" is a musical sharp sign. "Some people ask me what does A-number-Sharp mean? They think it's a number sign, or the pound symbol, or tic-tack-toe or something. It's a sharp sign, people, you know, the same note as a b-flat?..." e-mail: asharp@235recordings.com
