From Concord NC to the world.. Ford Sharpless releases ‘Palm Tree’

Hailing from Concord N.C. William Wylie also known as Ford Sharpless started producing at a young age. And became serious about it once local artists got a hold of his sound. After honing his craft with other local artists he began working on his first release And went on to independently released his first instrumental project called “Alpha” in 2010. He then went on to release 3 more albums before taking a self imposed hiatus in 2014 to pursue other creative interests. He has now resurfaced on the music scene with a new sense of purpose and creativity. The single ‘Palm Tree’ is certainly a classic. The song starts off strong with an extremely catchy beat & silky smooth vocals that make it a song that you won’t be able to listen to just once. I found myself enjoying the middle versus & choruses the most as the song went along.

I have nothing but complete appreciation & respect for Palm Tree as it is a thoroughly enjoyable listen from start to finish. We caught up with Ford Sharpless for an exclusive interview on Camden Monthly..
