1989

Isaiah Sharkey (born July 14, 1989) is an American guitarist, singer-songwriter, and producer.

Isaiah Sharkey was born on July 14, 1989, in Chicago, Illinois.

He comes from a musical family, his father being a professional multi-instrumentalist who played in several bands throughout Chicago in the '60s, '70s, and '80s.

His father, aunt, and uncle were members of a band called the Fugitives.

He credits his father, uncles, and older siblings for introducing him to gospel, R&B, blues, jazz, funk, and rock.

As a child, he lived in Chicago's Cabrini–Green Homes.

At age four, he sang in a church choir with his older siblings and received his first acoustic guitar from his uncle.

He also began playing bass at church and later received his first electric guitar for his seventh birthday.

By age 14, he was playing in local jazz and blues clubs around Chicago, including the Velvet Lounge, which was owned by Fred Anderson.

There, he played with jazz musicians including Bobby Irving, Corey Wilkes, and Anderson himself.

Sharkey names guitarists Wes Montgomery and George Benson as early musical influences.

2006

In 2006, when Sharkey was 16 years old, he went on his first tour performing with gospel singer Smokie Norful.

A former child prodigy, Sharkey has been described by Guitar World as "a guitarist's guitarist."

Together, they created D'Angelo's 2014 album Black Messiah, which was released to critical acclaim and won the 2015 Grammy Award for Best R&B Album.

Sharkey said working with D'Angelo was one of his "dream gigs."

His success with D'Angelo brought him opportunities as a sideman and session musician for other artists, including Paul Simon, Chris Martin, Patti LaBelle, and Keith Urban.

2016

In 2016, Sharkey was rehearsing with The Roots for the Roots Picnic when he met guitarist John Mayer, who came to sit in.
