    In this week's episode I chat to Jessica Sharman. I first met Jess a couple of years ago after she began working with Hannah Grace, one of the artists that I work with. One of the first times they wrote together they wrote a stunning song that ended up becoming a single called "Oh River". It's so rare for artists & songwriters to connect so quickly but I have since learned that Jess has this effect on people!  She has such a great mindset and attitude about music so I really hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I did. We'll be back next week with another episode of What Do You Do.  References that Jessica mentioned:  https://www.prsformusic.com/ https://www.ppluk.com/ https://jaxmanagement.com/ http://www.spiritmusicgroup.com/Clients/Library/Jessica-Sharman Follow Jessica:  http://www.jessicasharman.com/ https://www.instagram.com/jessicasharman/ What Do You Do with Orna Lyons: http://twitter.com/ohlyons http://instagram.com/ohlyons  #WhatDoYouDopodcast  Podcast recorded by:  Juliette Nicholls  juliette@PineappleAudioProduction.com (mailto:juliette@PineappleAudioProduction.com) https://www.instagram.com/pineappleaudioproduction/
