Barrie K. Sharpe was part of a duo behind the early 1990's music style of Groundbeat, an Acid / Jazz / Rare Groove offshoot that had its roots in the London area and old soul vinyl record shops. The act first came to the attention in the late 1980s, signing to London Records dance offshoot ffrr. They released singles such as The Masterpan, Love or Nothing and The Sun Worshippers as well as the album The Black, the White, The Yellow and The Brown.

In 1984 Sharpe created the now world renowned brand Duffer Of St George and designed all of its collection's until 1997. It was in 1997 that Sharpe launched the sucessful clothing brands Sharpeye and Suiceyed and now operates a handful of stores in the London area.

After slipping away from the ever growing commercial success of "Duffer", Barrie K. Sharpe decided to return to the original "Inna Citi" street ethos he had created. Barrie went to the crossroads and retraced his steps, holding "Sharpeye" steady and maintaining maximium credibility for his market.

Now sharpeye is ready to evolve and establish its rightful places in the main fashion arena.
