Author Bio

KEN SHARP is a musician and author widely recognized as one of the world's foremost authorities on KISS.

Bitten by the bug of rock and roll at an early age, particularly entranced by the revolutionary sounds of the Beatles and Elvis Presley, my passion for music has impacted on all aspects of my life. I'm a singer/songwriter with two CDs to my credit (1301 Highland Avenue, Happy Accidents) and a third in the works (Sonic Crayons), have authored or co-authored several music books including Overnight Sensation: The Story Of The Raspberries, Power Pop!, Meet The Beatles...Again!, Reputation Is A Fragile Thing: The Story Of Cheap Trick, and Small Faces: Quite Naturally. A graduate of Temple University, for the past two decades I have worked in the music business as writer, talent interviewer, associate producer, and researcher on a multitude of projects.
