Deke Sharon (born December 12, 1967) is an American singer, arranger, composer, director, producer and teacher of a cappella music, and is one of the leaders of the contemporary a cappella community and a pioneer of the contemporary a cappella style,[1][2][3] referred to as "the father of contemporary a cappella" by some authors.[4]

[edit] Early life
Deke Sharon was born and raised in San Francisco, attending Town School and San Francisco University High School as well as singing in the San Francisco Boys Chorus.
[edit] College
He spent his college years in Boston, graduating cum laude from Tufts University and the New England Conservatory of Music. In college, he directed the collegiate a cappella group the Tufts Beelzebubs,[5][6] transforming the group's sound to reflect modern rock, complete with vocal percussion.[7] The 1990–91 Bubs album Foster Street that he music directed, co-produced and largely arranged is credited with giving birth to the contemporary a cappella sound.[8]
In his dorm room, he founded The Contemporary A Cappella Society[9][10][11][12] and The Ultimate A Cappella Arranging Service (which became TotalVocal), as well as brought the Harmony Sweepstakes to the East Coast, producing the first Boston regional with the Beelzebubs.[13] It was in college that he decided to make a career of contemporary a cappella.[14]
[edit] Career
Upon graduation in 1991 he moved back to San Francisco, bringing with him a handful of other collegiate a cappella singers to form the The House Jacks,[15] a pioneering a cappella group[16] known for its original music and sound,[17] often called "the original rock band without instruments",[18] they in part because they were the first a cappella group with a designated vocal percussionist:[19] Andrew Chaikin, aka Kid Beyond, who was replaced in 1998 by Wes Carroll, and in 2008 by Jake Moulton. The House Jacks have released seven albums (signed to Warner Brothers/Tommy Boy Records in the mid-1990s)[20] and completed several world tours.[21] He has performed with many musicians, including Ray Charles, Crosby, Stills and Nash and James Brown.[22][23] They have won "Best Pop Rock Album" more than once from the Contemporary A Cappella Society, for "Unbroken" (2004) and "Level" (2010).[24]
He is a prolific, award winning[25][26] vocal music arranger, having arranged for some of vocal music's best known groups.[27] The Best Arrangement award at the Colorado Harmony Sweepstakes is named after him,[28] and he has won the best arrangement award at the Harmony Sweepstakes several times between 1991 and 2011.[29]
As a producer of a cappella recordings, he's known for having changed the sound of collegiate a cappella recording via the Beelzebubs album Code Red. Most recently, he is arranging and producing for Atlantic Records' Straight No Chaser.[30]
In the early 1990s, he co-founded The Best of College A Cappella (BOCA),[31] the International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella (ICCA),[32] the West and East Coast A Cappella Summits, and a number of other a cappella-related projects, programs and events.[33] He also founded and directed a cappella groups at Walt Disney World/Epcot (American Vybe) and Disneyland (Groove 66),[34] who currently perform in Southern California as Vybration.
He has worked on a cappella musical theater projects including "Street" and "Our World".[35] He is also known for his ability to replicate a variety of instruments (e.g. trumpet,[36] guitar, flute, violin) with his voice, teaching "Singing Instruments" seminars,[37] teaching summer camp for young vocalists[38] and adjudicating choral festivals around the world.[39] He has worked with many professional groups, including The Nylons and Boyz II Men.[40]
In 2007, he formed the Contemporary A Cappella League,[41] a new national network of adult "post-collegiate" a cappella groups.[42] In 2009, Deke ran a week of in Melbourne, Australia, hosted by Sarah Patterson, musical director of Harambee. He is currently serving as Vice President of CASA.[43] Collaborations with Straight No Chaser include co-production of their latest recordings and PBS specials.[44][45]
In December 2009, he acted as arranger, coach and consultant behind the scenes on America's first a cappella reality show/competition: NBC's The Sing-Off,[46] and returned in 2010 as one of the show's producers as well as arranger.[47] He also served as Executive Music Producer on the Dutch Sing Off.
He arranged for The Social Network movie.[48], and served as music director and arranger for the film Pitch Perfect.
He was named "favorite arranger" in the 2010 A Cappella Community Awards.[49]
Along with The House Jacks, he sang and performed the 2011 Monday Night Football theme song "Are You Ready For Some Football" with Hank Williams, Jr..[50] Sixteen versions were taped, but only a few episodes aired before the song was removed (due to Hank's comments about President Obama). He sang several of the songs in the Wii game "Just Dance Kids 2" including the Lion Sleeps Tonight, Barbara Ann, and Mahna Mahna
Acapellablog named him the #1 "a cappella power player to keep an eye on in 2012" [51]
