Sharon’s career as a Barbra Streisand impersonator and tribute artist began in 1992, when Sharon moved to Los Angeles where she began singing Streisand in dinner theaters and cabaret nightclubs. Her uncanny resemblance and vocal ability to sing Streisand started her career as a Legends In Concert performer. In addition, Sharon has been performing her “Tribute to Barbra Streisand” to critical acclaim nationwide in major showrooms, for corporate events and as a Headliner in Las Vegas.

Most recently Sharon has turned to television where she was crowned the winner of the hit TV show on Fox called “Performing As…” This national success has created a whirlwind of Barbra fans waiting to see Sharon’s famous tribute.
