This talented singer/songwriter from Georgia has received recognition from many areas of the Gospel music industry, including nominations by the Singing News, the Diamond Awards and Absolutely Gospel. She is also the recipient of two SGM Fan Fair awards, having touched hearts across the nation with her country sound and soulful lyrics. This lady knows Who she is singing about! [Editor's note: this interview was originally posted in September 2012 on SGM Radio website.]

Sharron Kay King recently shared some thoughts with SGM Radio for our Showcase of Talent. Since this interview, she has released a new album, Sharron Kay King – The Story of My Life, featuring nine original songs plus a guest appearance by Ann Downing. Sharron is also a veteran Ladies Ministry speaker, traveling across the United States to share with women’s groups about the power of God.

SGM Radio: How did you begin your career in Christian music?
Sharron: Once I realized and accepted the call in my life I began to follow [that call]; I guess about 20 years now. I sing what comes to my heart.

SGM Radio: What is the title of your most recent recording?
Sharron: Don't Stop Believing is my latest project. It was recorded in Nashville.

SGM Radio: What is your most favorite song off of the project and why?
Sharron: “Why Can't We” by the Isaacs. The song speaks for itself.

SGM Radio: Do you have a local church that you attend?
Sharron: Yes, when not on the road I attend The World of Faith Ministries in Macon, GA. I am involved as much as I can be but being full time makes it difficult.

SGM Radio: What has been the most entertaining moment of your career?
Sharron: Oh I've had plenty of those! I guess when my heel got stuck on the '70's shag carpet in the church I was ministering in and I hit the floor, but didn't miss a lick in my song. I just popped back up and kept on singing!

SGM Radio: What has been the most challenging moment of your career?
Sharron: Ministering just two weeks after I lost my mother, that was tough.

SGM Radio: Christians have a lot to be thankful for as they serve the Lord. What are you most thankful for in your life?
Sharron: That by His grace and mercy He has kept me, and I feel honored that He found something in me that He can use.

Sharron Kay King - Top Ten

1. Please tell us the name of your latest recording and your favorite song from that CD. What is the message behind this song?

My latest recording is Don't Stop Believing. My favorite song off of this CD is Don't Stop Believing. In a world where we don't know who to believe in or what to except from day to day, we can always believe in God, His word and His ways, for they are not our own.

2. What is one group highlight from the last 12 months?
Highlight from last 12 months: My oldest Grand-daughter Zoey, was baptized in Jesus name!

3. Where is your favorite place to eat on the road?
Oh gee golly, Ruby Tuesday's is always a hit cause they have the best salad bar. We also eat a lot in the motor home so we can eat healthier. My husband really doesn't like eating out so I've learned to be quite the little chef. Especially after I lost 70 pounds, eating out isn't always a good idea.

4. What is the best city to visit in the US? And…if you’ve been…in Canada and overseas?
Best city in USA would have to be Richmond, Indiana so I can see my family. My husband loves Jackson Hole, WY. He has yet to take me there! I have been to the Canadian Mountains and it's absolutely beautiful. I've been to The Holy Land, Greece, and Turkey. It was awesome! Been to the Caribbean a few times on cruises.

5. What artist are you listening to right now?
I love so many different artists it's hard to say just one. I love Jim Reeves Gospel Collections, The Original Hinsons. I love the old stuff.

6. What are your thoughts on Spam (the product, not the email)?
I love a fried Spam sandwich with mustard! I grew up eating many of these.

7. What is one habit you would like to break?
Well let me ask my husband. He says I don't have any. On the other hand, I would like to change my vulnerability. I have a bad habit of believing everyone. That's not a good idea now-a-days. Let me add my weakness for ice cream!

8. Who is your most favorite Bible person/character?
Esther because of her willingness to be used, and then Job for his faithfulness.

9. What is your favorite Bible verse?
Rev 12:11 “And they overcame him by the blood of the lamb, and by the word of their testimony.”

10. Name a character trait or fruit of the spirit you would really like to develop in your life.
I would love to have better discernment and the gift of healing. There are too many people suffering from needless pains from a lack of faith.
