About Sher Lindsey-Ham...

"Let's-see-what-she-can-do...and watch them sit up in their seats!" Sher Lindsey-Ham is a complete package of music, story, life's experiences and an uncompromising love for what she does best...sing...perform! Sher knows her audience, she senses their feelings, she responds to their every reaction and turns it all back on to them with absolutely delightful results. She is in total audience and personal control. No matter the song, she tells it's story like it should be told...happy, sad, soulful, lonely, funky, funny, loving...whatever the emotion...it's all there...spilling over with a love for those watching and listening in the darkness.

Sher has performed in many venues, from jazz festivals to exclusive private events. Sher has spent many years honing her estimable skills, beautifully texturing her pure, sultry and smoky vocals with a sensual, jazzy musical style. California/New England based producer, singer, songwriter and composer, Sher Lindsey-Ham, continues to broaden her base of appreciative and passionate fans all over the world.

Sher penned the songs that would launch her recording career on the newly released debut album, "Unraveled." The musical passions of Sher Lindsey-Ham are very evident in her music. The reactions to her music is just as passionate. "What a dynamic lady!" "Her sound is exciting to the soul yet calming to the spirit." "Music with personality!" "The dedication to her musicianship and the breadth of her experience are evident in every song."

Sher's talent, however, extends beyond the pen and the microphone. She is the owner and President of OFDProductions, Promotions, and Sound Designs. It's there she has expanded her passion for music into the recording studio. Her studio world is one of percussion grooves and keyboard sounds that brings new creativity to a variety of jazz sounds. Sher's creative thumbprint on smooth jazz, chill, lounge, and R & B, is unique and unmistakable. Most importantly, Sher has added her expertise in the area of digital mixing and mastering. Those who utilize OFDProductions for their projects can opt to utilize the sensuous sounds of Sher's sexy alto voice, use Sher's worldwide promotion connections, and benefit from her unmatched talent in the mixing and mastering process.

Using the best recording software on the market, Sher Lindsey-Ham spends hours listening to combinations of reverb, delay, EQ, and stereo imaging to create that perfect yet unique pearl of sound for the voice, the melody, the lyric and the rhythm. Never satisfied with the sound of just one set of studio speakers, she will listen to take after take in a variety of headsets, rooms, and even be found racing down a New England freeway with speakers blaring in her trademark BMW, just to ensure that the sound, the energy and the passion is just right.

Sher believes that music is a feeling, and that great music involves a great deal of emotion. The production of music is no different. "If the music doesn't move you," she says, "it's just words, notes and chords. It's all for nothing."

That level of emotion carries into the production studio, where she challenges the artist to make her laugh, cry, shout for joy or fall into despair. She coaches those who enter the realm of OFD to push their talents, their gifts, and their passion to the limit. A session with Sher will leave you jazzed, yet exhausted.

Along with her 2011 debut album, "Unraveled," last year Sher produced "The Cheyenne Loca Project," a video of the Italian model, Cheyenne Loca's, portfolio, with all original music done in three suites. She manages and produces several projects for large corporations, internet radio stations, as well as individual clients. Sher is now the co-host for KJAZZ Radio UK which broadcasts from its studio in Southern England and globally via the internet.

When you visit Sher Lindsey-Ham at OFDProductions or listen to her perform live, you will find every lyric, every note of melody, and every beat of rhythm embraces meaning. Prepare to have your mind unraveled and your soul overwhelmed with passion.
