Early life

Born to parents Joy and Joe as the youngest of four children, Sharpe grew up on the family's small farm in Willowmavin, Victoria. Sharpe picked up his first guitar at the age of fifteen and fell into singing by accident, after filling in singing with a high school band.

After finishing an apprenticeship at Holdens Engine Company as a fitter and machinist, Sharpe left the company to pursue music full-time. His band Heavy Human Traffic recorded three albums: Ritafind (1998), Heavy Human Traffic (1999), and Second Skin (2001). The group disbanded in 2003.[3]

Sharpe began his acting career after working on stage for two years at Dracula's Theatre Restaurant in Melbourne.
