About the author
Sharis Roe DeJaynes was born into an artistic family and is no stranger to music or the stage. With renown Gospel recording artist Ted Roe for a father, and a mother who directs plays and musicals, Sharis began singing, acting, playing the piano, and reading music at a young age. At the age of fifteen, she began writing poetry.
Sharis broke from poetry and music for a while to raise a family and develop a career in Information Technology, during which she also focused on her painting and wrote her first book entitled Ignition which was released in 2013. The following year Roe released her first single, and then decided to take her poetry to another level with her first full-length album, Evolution of Love, which released March 1, 2017. With the album, inspired by a "roller coaster ride" of personal life events, she channeled the emotion of her own personal evolution into the tale of one woman’s reclamation of self. The 24-month project began with the story idea and a title/track list which then blossomed organically into lyrics, composition, engineering, and mastering.
In addition to recording music, Sharis has also found success as a fine artist. Her fresh, colorful, and contemporary paintings are born from her passionate approach to life and have found an international audience; they have also been exhibited at several juried shows across Texas and been featured in several publications both online and print.
Sharis continues to challenge herself artistically and musically. Stay up to date by joining Sharis’ mailing list at www.sharisroe.com.
