Bree Sharp (born December 17, 1975) is an American musician and actress. As of the 2010s, she is the lead vocalist of the electropop band Beautiful Small Machines. Early life and education Sharp was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and learned to play guitar by 15. By 17, she had moved to New York City to study theater at New York University. While in college, Sharp began writing the songs that led to her 1998 record deal with Trauma Records. Career In July 1999, she released her first album, A Cheap and Evil Girl. The album's first single, "David Duchovny", garnered a cult following both for its musical qualities and its comical references to the titular actor. Will Shivers and Charles Forsch, production assistants and producers on The X-Files, produced a video for "David Duchovny" featuring a myriad of celebrities crooning the lyrics including Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Whoopi Goldberg, Alex Trebek, David Spade, all four members of KISS, Gillian Anderson, David Duchovny himself and dozens of others.[2]. The video was a hit on the Internet and circulated widely in the underground fan community. The song lyrics were quoted in David Duchovny's later Showtime Network TV series, Californication, in 2011. In the summer of 1999, Sharp played as part of the Lilith Fair, the all-women music festival created by Sarah McLachlan and headlined by McLachlan and Sheryl Crow. In 2000, Sharp toured with Bush and Moby as part of MTV’s “Campus Invasion Tour” in colleges across the United States. Sharp's second single "America," is an examination of contemporary American culture. In 2001, Sharp left Trauma Records, which at least one music journalist attributed to the company's poor management. In August 2002, she released her second album, More B.S., on her own label, Ahimsa Records. In September 2004, Sharp released Live at Fez, a recording of a May 2003 unplugged performance in New York City, which included the new song, “Waving Goodbye." In 2005, Sharp began working as a teleplay writer on Japanese anime import Ojamajo Doremi, dubbed in English as Magical DoReMi that aired as part of Fox’s Saturday morning cartoon block. She also contributed the song "This Side of Paradise" to the dubbed English version of the Pokemon movie Pokémon: Destiny Deoxys and "Team Up!" as the opening theme music for the dubbed English television version of Tokyo Mew Mew, also known as Mew Mew Power.
