Biography
Bree Sharp was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and learned to play guitar by 15. By 17, she had moved to New York City to study theater at New York University. She eventually returned to music and while in college began writing the songs that led to her 1998 record deal with Trauma Records. In July 1999, she released her first album, A Cheap and Evil Girl. The album's first single, "David Duchovny", garnered a cult following both for its musical qualities and its comical references to the titular actor. Will Shivers and Charles Forsch, production assistants and producers on The X-Files, produced a video for "David Duchovny" featuring several celebrities crooning the lyrics. The video was a hit on the Internet and circulated widely in the underground fan community. The song lyrics were quoted in David Duchovny's later Showtime Network TV series, Californication, in 2011.

Sharp's second single was "America," an examination of contemporary American culture.

In 2001, Sharp left Trauma Records, which at least one music journalist attributed to the company's poor management.

In August 2002, she released her second album, More B.S., on her own label, Ahimsa Records. In September 2004, Sharp released Live at Fez, a recording of a May 2003 performance in New York City.

In 2005, Sharp began working as a writer on Ojamajo Doremi, dubbed in English as Magical DoReMi. She also contributed the song "This Side of Paradise" to the dubbed English version of Pokémon: Destiny Deoxys and "Team Up!" as the opening theme music for the dubbed English version of Tokyo Mew Mew, also known as Mew Mew Power. She also sang most of the songs for Mew Mew Power. She also contributed the song "Where the Girls Are" in the 4Kids Entertainment edit of Winx Club.

In July 2007, Sharp starred as Leila in Vassar College's Powerhouse Summer Theater workshop production of Pete Townshend's The Boy Who Heard Music.

On August 2, 2007, Sharp announced on her MySpace blog that the mixing of her long-delayed third studio album, Robots in Love, was all but complete, and posted four of the new songs ("EastSide," "So Long 2 U," "In the Name of Revenge," and "Robots in Love") on her MySpace music player. In January 2008, she added two more new songs ("Counting Back to 1" and "The Wretched Sound of City Cars") to the player. Sharp ultimately opted to release the new material not as a solo album but through Beautiful Small Machines, a band comprising herself and longtime collaborator Don DiLego.

Following the Robots in Love EP and the single "Simple Joys (4 Roy & Pris)," both released in 2009, Beautiful Small Machines in 2012 released a music video for the song Paper Planes. Their next album entitled The DJ Stayed Home was released in 2014.

Sharp is a vegan and animal rights activist.

She made her film debut in the role of Erica in the independent movie Bert and Arnie's Guide to Friendship, directed by Jeff Kaplan.

In 2019, she pitched her softball team Carpe Donut (aka the Donuts) to a New York EDSO League championship.
