Abrielle Scharff

Abrielle Scharff is a young-twenty-something who would love for women to stop being placed in the fake genre known as “female singer-songwriter.” Unless we’re going to start calling John Mayer a “male singer-songwriter.” Then, it’s okay. Despite being a seasoned performer, the quality of Abrielle’s voice — unaffected, clear as a bell — gives the impression of effortlessness. Paired with candid and original lyricism, the sweetness of Abrielle’s sound doesn’t hinder her ability to convey genuine emotion. On stage, she is an open book with a mischievous sense of humor, like a stand-up comedian version of Stevie Nicks. Abrielle just returned from her first tour in London after winning the Coffee Music Project’s international songwriting competition for her song “The Women That Made Me.”
