Rising from Akron, Ohio, Shar Kriztin is a force to be reckoned with in the world of hip-hop and beyond. With a style that effortlessly blends Afro-pop, rock, soul, and trap, Shar’s music carries an authenticity and emotional depth that speaks directly to anyone who’s faced hardship and adversity. In an exclusive interview, we dive deep into Shar’s creative journey, the powerful messages behind her music, and the personal experiences that fuel her sound.
From the start, it’s clear that Shar’s music is more than just a way to express herself—it’s a tool for healing and empowerment. “My parents, my son, and my life experiences are my biggest influences,” she shares, her voice steady but full of emotion. These powerful influences resonate in every track, especially in her latest single, “Like A Fool,” which she dropped through Virgin Music Group. The song delves into the pain of being in a relationship where love is unreciprocated, and Shar pours every ounce of her own heartache and experience into the lyrics. “It’s about realizing your worth and not staying stuck in situations where you’re not loved correctly,” she explains.
Shar’s approach to music is deeply personal. “I literally use what I go through for creativity,” she says. Her life experiences—ups, downs, and everything in between—are transformed into art. Whether it’s the grief of losing loved ones or navigating complex relationships, Shar channels her pain and triumphs into powerful tracks. “When my son and dad passed away, I could have fallen into depression, but I kept going. It made me stronger,” she shares, a testament to the resilience that runs through her veins.
But it’s not just about the struggles. Shar’s music is a celebration of perseverance, an anthem for anyone who’s had to fight for their dreams. Her message is clear: “Push through no matter what life throws at you.” This message is one that resonates with fans across the globe, especially as Shar takes to social media and online platforms to connect with them. “I create content that my followers can relate to and go live. I want them to see the real me,” she says, ensuring her fans stay connected with her journey.
For Shar, the goal is simple but profound: to be able to make enough from her music to live comfortably, while also staying true to herself and her art. She keeps her eyes on the long-term vision, never letting the distractions of trends or doubt sway her. “I stay true to who I am no matter the trends,” she affirms.
Through it all, Shar’s ultimate hope is that listeners take away a sense of self-worth and determination. “Never give up on yourself or your dreams,” she says, reminding us all that we have the strength to overcome whatever comes our way.
