Sharpe & Numan was a British synth-pop duo formed by Shakatak's Bill Sharpe (keyboards, producer) and Gary Numan (vocals, keyboards).

Their music has been characterized as a mix of synthpop and soul typical of the mid-1980s.[1] They had success with their first single "Change Your Mind", which was a top 20 hit on the UK Singles Chart, peaking at number 17 in March 1985.[2] Subsequent singles were less successful[2] and in 1989 they released their first and only album Automatic which only spent one week on the UK Albums Chart at number 59.[2]
