Artist History ATTENTION HIP-HOP FANS WORLDWIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There is a new predator stalking the oceans and seas of Hip Hop - Sharky the Great White, A.K.A. Carcharadon Carcharius, A.K.A. Aquanova, A.K.A. Sharkasaurus Wrex, A.K.A. Slaughter Specialist. After 11 long years perfecting his style he is about to take the planet by storm with the Selachophobia EP, the highly anticipated follow up to his 1999 debut LP entitled Treacherous Waters. While living most of his 25 years in the K-W area he has strong ties to Toronto, Michigan and London and is currently working with a number of Ontario’s finest emcees and producers. Not content to be one of Canada’s best he is constantly trying to penetrate the U.S. market as well as the rest of the world.Sharky’s career as an entertainer started in early high school when he joined his long time friend and producer Knowitall’s group. After spending 5 years doing local shows and recording demos, Sharky decided to go to school and learn more about the technical side of the business. He graduated with an Honors Degree from the Ontario Institute of Audio Recording Technology in 1995 and shortly after that joined up with a producer named Prologic (formerly of BeatDown Music Productions). They put out a compilation C.D. entitled the BeatDown Invasion that included artists from Ontario and Michigan. While sales were soft due to lack of promotion, the compilation did get them a great deal of attention and respect from their peers and Sharky ended up landing gigs opening up for the likes of Sporty Thieves, Saukrates and Ghetto Concept. Since 2000, when he was crowned the battle champion on www.hiphopcanada.com he has captured numerous other site titles and has earned a reputation for being one of the most vicious text battlers ever. He is currently putting the finishing touches on Selachophobia and is also in the process of landing slots on a number of compilation albums as well as working on projects with The Lyricists, Lo Kreepaz, Age, Skitz, Dubble J, Goldspade, Curius and others. Sharky will also be featured on the upcoming 12” release by his producer Knowitall on a blazing new song entitled “Out the door” due to be released in March.While he is known primarily for his battle lyrics and freestyles, Sharky prides himself on being as much a writer as he is an emcee. It is this passion for the written word and his drive to make Hip-Hop for intelligent people that keeps him at the top of his game. Sharky’s ability to write a heart felt love ballad or a political commentary and then switch it up and rip a bone crushing battle rhyme is what makes him different from the millions of aspiring vocalists that are currently flooding the Hip Hop scene. The only thing keeping this musical carnivore from achieving his many and varied goals right now is the lack of money available to Canadian talent. If you happen to have some extra cash please send all donations to J. Anderson, chairman of the Save the Cocky Honky Foundation at 1200 Kossuth Rd. Cambridge, Ontario N3H 4R7 or buy his CD at music outlets in this region.

Unlike the simplisic rhymes of sucker mc's everywhere, Sharky demonstrates a unique ear for cadence, rhyme and lyrical tongue-twisters that proves the man has some serious skills on the mic."
