    Stuart is a composer and keyboardist for the exciting new rock band for kids called Sharky Sharky. Sharky Sharky was formed in response to the seemingly poor landscape of music currently marketed for children - with many aritsts being inapropriate role models for their young fans. The goal is to introduce children to an energetic and fun genre of music where the emphasis is on live performance and a large range of instruments to be inspired to play.
