Southern Soul music artist Sharnette Hyter describes herself as “a bowl of gumbo, a flat-footed country girl.”
A native of Dallas with Louisiana roots, she is a graduate of Skyline High School and comes from a tradition of gospel-rooted singing. Sharnette attended Robert L. Thornton Elementary, Boude Storey Middle School, and Skyline High School where she was in the horticulture cluster. Next she was off to Cedar Valley College and then to Larry’s Barber College, before becoming a hairstylist. The licensed barber instructor also attended Renee’s Cosmetology Center and studied theological studies at Grace Seminary College.
