Join me on my journey as I share my music and story with the world. I am Shariese Katrell and I have been singing since the age of six. Music has always been very important to me and it's helped me through many difficult times including my epilepsy.
My epilepsy was diagnosed a year after high school. From there on my life started to change. I had to drop out of college because every day I would pass out in class. I felt trapped in my house like a prisoner. I was having seven seizures a day. I felt that no one could help me and my life stood still but my music always brightened my
days.
Life became a daily struggle and because of my serve seizures, I underwent brain surgery in 2008. After the surgery things began to change, I went back to school and finished college. I started to get my life back, through my music.
I have resolved to have the world know my story and inspire others like me. My goal is to complete an EP so the world can hear my music and story. With your support I can release my first debut EP with a release event on January 28th, 2011, the third anniversary of my surgery. This is my message of hope for me and the world.
