Talent scout Martha Sharp shapes stars at Warner Bros
Nashville based vice president of artist and repertoire Martha Sharp signs acts, screens songs, and mentors talent at Warner Bros. Records. She transformed Randy Travis from a $200-a-week cook to a million selling country star, signing him less than two years ago as her newest success. On weekends she screens up to 12 hours of demos, listening for a voice with edge and a hit song, while weekdays find her balancing producers, artists, and publishing houses amid Music Row’s tape stacks. Her own tastes swing to classical piano when she’s off duty.
