Gary Smith - who among many accomplishments is famous for launching the career of Andy Griggs and producing the gold album "You Won't Ever Be Lonely"-and has found himself back in the studio completing what is predicted to be his best work ever.

Kevin Sharp grew up in Weiser, Idaho in a musical family of seven children. Between farm chores and running the local diner, the family would sing at area church functions.

A gifted athlete who excelled in several sports, Kevin began experiencing fatigue and unexplained pain that was later diagnosed as a rare form of bone cancer that had spread to his lungs. A senior in high school, Kevin was told that his chance of survival was slim. Uncertain if he would live six months, Kevin was introduced to the Make A Wish Foundation, which grants wishes to children with life threatening illnesses. They honored his wish of meeting producer/performer David Foster, whose friendship sustained Kevin through two grueling years of chemotherapy, experimental drugs, and radiation treatments, as well as opening a door for Kevin to pursue goal to become a successful country artist. To everyone's surprise, Kevin went into remission in 1990. He has never forgotten the generosity of the Make A Wish Foundation, and currently acts as a national spokesperson for the group. He was also honored with the prestigious "Wishgranter of the Year Award", which singled him out for the devotion, dedication and inspiration he provides the children.

His amazing story has been showcased by media outlets including "Live with Regis and Kathy Lee," "Entertainment Tonight," and "Good Morning America," and national publications such as USA Today, The Los Angeles Times, and People Magazine. Warner Pictures in conjunction with CBS Television hope to reach an even wider audience with an up-coming made-for-television movie about Kevin's life and career.

In addition to live performances and his current project with Radio Records, Kevin is continuing to spread his message of hope and inspiration to thousands all over the country by acting as a motivational speaker.
