Sharon Roshell is a Billboard-charting singer, songwriter, and the inspiring host of The Authenticated Life podcast. With a voice that resonates with power and passion, she guides her listeners into life-changing encounters with God. When Sharon sings or speaks, her audience feels more than just her words—they experience a transformative fire.

​

At the age of 13, Sharon was selected to join vocalists from across the nation to perform at the renowned Carnegie Hall in New York City. This early exposure to a major stage ignited a passion that she couldn’t ignore, even as she battled self-doubt and the sting of constant criticism throughout her youth. Despite the fear of standing before crowds, Sharon never allowed anything to silence the gift within her.

​

Sharon’s path wasn’t always focused on music. Initially, she pursued a career in nursing. However, as she delved deeper into her studies, she realized this was not where her true passion lay. One life-changing night, while attending a tent revival, a preacher—whom she had never met—spoke a prophetic word over her life, declaring that her voice would bless the world. She knew God was calling her into something greater. After much prayer and confirmation, she pivoted toward her destiny and enrolled at Valor Christian College, where she earned a degree in Praise & Worship Leadership. Sharon didn’t stop there; she went on to obtain a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a Specialization in Life Coaching and later a Master’s in Human Services and Counseling.

 

Sharon’s music and testimony have taken her across North America and around the world, including Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia. Her ministry is powerful, bringing healing and deliverance to those who hear her. At one concert, a woman testified that a spirit of grief, which had plagued her since her son’s passing 15 years prior, lifted as Sharon sang. Another woman shared that she was freed from tormenting voices during a moment of worship. Stories like these affirm the anointing on Sharon’s life and her calling to minister through song. Her gift has opened doors for her to share stages with renowned artists such as Tye Tribbett, Hezekiah Walker, Smokie Norful, Lauren Daigle, Newsboys, Michael W. Smith, and Matthew West.

​

Sharon has released five musical projects, beginning with God is Bigger in 2005, followed by Never Thirst Again in 2008, Church Girl 20:14 in 2014, and her Billboard-charting singles, iSing (2019) and Father of Glory Live. Her latest release, Declare and Decree Live, was recorded live in Nashville, TN, and continues to inspire and uplift audiences. A new project is on the horizon.

​

A native of Hope Mills, NC, Sharon now resides in Louisville, KY, with her husband, Antonio D. Thomas, and their four children. In addition to her thriving music journey, Sharon and Antonio launched Parresia Music, an independent music label. They are also the founders of Kulima Care Family Services, a Therapeutic Family Services Agency they started in 2016, as well as M.H.G. Preparatory Academy, a private school in the heart of Louisville.
