Max Sharam
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Max Sharam is an Australian singer and songwriter.
Max Sharam grew up in rural Victoria, in a place called Musical Gully (about 2 hours west of Melbourne). When she was 19 she toured Europe with two different theatre companies. Her acoustic spots at Kinselas nightclub and performance on New Faces led to critical acclaim. Max Sharam released her debut album A Million Year Girl in 1995. After several subsequent sell-out national tours, Sharam disappeared from the Australian music scene.
Max Sharam later spent a year fronting a Japanese rock band in Hiroshima and appeared in Channel 9's TV documentary Dream Factory, shot in Los Angeles. In January 2005, Max Sharam performed "Butterfly Suicide" at the Hong Kong Fringe Festival. The one-woman P'Opera (a 'Virtual Variety/Multi Media Musical') featured the misadventures of 'ill Soprano', a highly-strung opera diva who takes to the streets at night singing.
