Everything known about Zak Starkey’s wife

Also known as Sshh Liguz, Sharna Liguz is a part of the music duo Sshh with Zak Starkey. Born on September 10, 1984, she had an interest in entertainment and the arts. She even wrote reviews and hosted a radio show as a teenager.

Liguz attended Bradfield College of the Arts and National Art School. She played with different bands in Australia in school and then dropped out of art school and shifted to England.

Liguz then met Zak Starkey at a show and began making music together. They started collaborating when Starkey was touring as a drummer for Oasis. He then sent a guitar riff to Liguz, leading to their first song being recorded on the phone.

The duo began releasing material under the name Pengu!ns in 2006. They started playing live in 2008, and the touring Pengu!ns lineup consisted of only Liguz and Starkey as a duo in 2011.

The two were initially asked to do a SiriusXM series because of their musical influences. However, they decided to take a different approach by inviting the original members of the rhythm sections of the influential bands to play and record with them.

This led to their debut album, Issues, consisting of cover songs for the benefit of the Teen Cancer Program.

The duo has not announced a release date for the album but has revealed the songs with the names of the collaborating artists.
