Frankie Sharp, aka Natalie Franciska Sharp, is a Canadian actress, singer and songwriter from Vancouver, BC. When her acting career was temporarily sidelined last year due to the pandemic, Natalie decided it was the perfect time to develop her music career, and that’s when Frankie Sharp was born.
Stuck inside and living with an upright piano in her studio apartment, she started writing music, focusing her energy on an entirely different creative endeavour. In a mere chance introduction to Vancouver singer-songwriter/producer, James Faulkner, a music collaboration ensued. The result is Frankie’s first single ‘Wait is Over’ which was originally written about a potential relationship, exploring that nerve-wracking waiting game you play before you decide to “go for it” and admit your feelings to that person. Filmed at the Rickshaw Theatre in Vancouver, the song’s electric 80s inspired video is a collaboration with her director brother Alexander Sharp.
“For the video, my brother and I loved the concept of ‘going down the rabbit hole,’” says Frankie Sharp. “In the video, you see me drawn to this mysterious venue where I have this spontaneous performance experience, which ends up showing me what I’ve been longing for - to be a singer and find self expression. It is totally a parallel to my life, that I am finally tackling my music dream.”
Natalie's acting career began shortly after she was accepted into Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, when she began working in film and TV with her first big booking on Supernatural. While in school, she snagged her first major feature Miracle Season, starring alongside Academy award winners, Helen Hunt and William Hurt, and directed by Sean McNamara (Soul Surfer). A few months later, she landed her first series regular, in the musical comedy show, Hit The Road. She played the role of Ria, daughter of Jason Alexander's (Seinfeld) character, and the lead singer of the series. Recently she snagged the leading role in Baby Monitor Murders for Lifetime, the recurring role of “Anna” in the BH90210 reboot, and the latest villain “Sunshine” on CW’s The Flash.
Frankie Sharp's debut single 'Wait Is Over' is available now on Spotify, Apple Music/iTunes, and other digital retailers and streaming services worldwide.
