We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Kylie Sharman. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Kylie below.

Kylie, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today We’d love to hear about when you first realized that you wanted to pursue a creative path professionally.

I like to say I was born knowing that I wanted to pursue a creative path professionally. My mom always gets a kick out of telling the story of how, when I was little, I would stand in front of the TV and point at the screen saying, ‘I want to do that.’ At the time she wasn’t entirely sure what I meant since I probably didn’t even know myself. She signed me up for everything she saw on TV such as soccer, gymnastics, more dance, and singing, but I kept insisting, ‘No, I want to do that.’ Eventually she realized what I really meant was that I wanted to be inside the TV, and the rest was history. Not long after, I booked Barney and a couple of other projects, which gave me my first taste of being on camera and confirmed that this was exactly where I belonged. Those early experiences planted the seed that grew from childhood curiosity into the professional career I’m pursuing today. Singing and acting have been with me ever since.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

I’m Kylie Sharman, an actor and singer-songwriter from Dallas, Texas. I began acting at six years old and started formal training at eight at Cathryn Sullivan’s Acting for Film. I started singing when I was nine and began performing publicly at eighteen, releasing my first single, love u hate u, in 2021.
I act because I love portraying other people’s stories and making audiences feel something. Whether it is happiness, sadness, anger, or any other emotion, I want people to be moved by my experience. I feel my best when I watch movies or TV that move me, and I want to create that feeling for someone else, taking them into another world for part of their day. I make music for the same reason. It is a way to let it all out and be personal, and maybe someone can relate to it, or just enjoy it, dance to it, or scream it in their car or at home. I am excited to continue releasing more music in the future.
I have two songs out, ‘love u hate u’ and ‘psycho,’ available on all music platforms. I also have a comedy movie on Tubi called The Ballot Box (2024), and I recently filmed a dark comedy short called Street Haul (2025) in Montreal, Quebec during the winter. I’m very excited for everyone to see it.
What sets me apart is my ability to combine acting, singing, and dancing to tell stories across different mediums, always with a focus on emotional authenticity. I take pride in creating work that moves, entertains, or inspires people. Ultimately, I want audiences and collaborators to leave my performances and music feeling seen, understood, or simply entertained, and that drive continues to shape my creative journey.

Let’s talk about resilience next – do you have a story you can share with us?

Acting is a game of resilience. You audition constantly, and maybe one role sticks. You can get hundreds of no’s before a yes, then the cycle starts again. The biggest thing is to never shrink yourself or devalue your talent. Every audition, every ‘no,’ is still a success because you are growing, training, and moving toward that magic role. If performing is burning in your soul, it’s meant for you. Keep trying, keep learning, and you will end up where you’re meant to be. All the training, effort, and small wins prepare you for the opportunities ahead.
For example, I’ve auditioned for several roles across different projects that I thought I was perfect for. I didn’t get any of them, which was discouraging, but I kept training and showing up. When I finally landed a project, I realized that all the effort and setbacks had prepared me for it. I gave my best and knew this character was meant for me. That experience taught me that persistence and belief in yourself are just as important as talent.

Are there any resources you wish you knew about earlier in your creative journey?

Honestly, one resource I wish I had recognized earlier was the value of having a strong, supportive group of people around you. I had that support during my early days, but I didn’t fully realize who they were or consciously choose the people I wanted to stay close to. I needed to nurture the relationships with those who were pushing for my success, even before I fully understood it. My acting coach, Cathryn Sullivan, has always been one of my biggest advocates and supporters. She created an atmosphere that encourages growth and developing the craft in a healthy, positive way. I am grateful to have my strongest supporters from the acting studio. It has become a second home for me, giving me the guidance, encouragement, and community I need to thrive. I feel honored to also support the family coming out of that community. They are the ones who remind me why I do what I do and keep me grounded through all the ups and downs of this industry. Having that kind of core group around me gives me the strength to keep moving forward, and I’m forever grateful, not just for what they’ve given me, but for how they’ve shaped the artist and person I continue to grow into.
