Guitar Girl’d: Interview with Sharon Aguilar on CeeLo, 2NE1 and Miss President
Sharon Aguilar wasn’t even going to audition.
But what the heck. She was in the right place at the right time, took a chance and landed a gig playing and touring worldwide with CeeLo Green during his Lady Killer album tour. As a student at Musicians Institute, Aguilar knew going to the Hollywood-based school would give her opportunities. She just didn’t realize they’d come so soon and mean so much.
Aguilar has experienced a second world tour with K-pop group 2NE1 and is still going strong. Focusing now on her projects at home in LA, Aguilar is excited about the launch of her new group, Miss President, made up of many of her touring mates, including DANiiVORY, Goldielox and B.Brooks.
I caught up with Aguilar as she returned to the US from Asia to shoot the breeze, talk guitar and get the scoop.
GUITAR WORLD: So, you’ve been doing a bit of traveling.
Yes, yes. Just got done with a six-month tour in Asia with the K-pop group 2NE1. That was a lot of fun. It was a part of the world I’ve never got to see before, so it was definitely a highlight to be able to play a lot of the venues out there and experience the culture.
Tell me about 2NE1.
I was playing with 2NE1 on their New Revolution Tour. It was a global tour, and we did a couple shows in the States too, at the Prudential Center and one at Nokia, which was sold out. It was a really cool show, will.i.am actually produced a lot of their tracks, and he came to the show and just started rapping over the encore and hanging out with us on stage, which was really cool.
But the 2NE1 girls, they’re a really big K-pop group. I felt bad because I really had no idea that there were other markets like that. I just felt like American entertainment was the be-all-end-all, and I feel ignorant for saying that. It just really opened my eyes to see what else is going on in the world, because K-pop is huge! These girls were selling out stadiums. It was just incredible. And they have very dedicated fans. It was a lot of fun.

Hi, oh-dara. Are you 100% sure that the released audio (Gettin’ Dumb) is JUST A TEASER? I think oh-dara is a reliable institution in itself so we are taking your word for it. Please know that the fans will have expectations because of your statement. What will happen if it’s the full song? You were asked a lot of times if it’s really a teaser only and you confirmed that it is at least three times. Please think of the consequences of your statement. Anyway, I’m just being a little paranoid but as a fan, I trust you and the information you provide. Thank you.
(I don’t have Twitter so.)
Hello Chu! At the moment we posted the article the first time, AKP and a host of other people on Twitter have said it was a teaser. My mistake is that I took them for their word and posted before I could finish listening to the full song. However, after I finished it, I realized that there were no cut-off beats and repeated bass signals that would have indicated a loop, thus I questioned myself if the “teaser” was instead the full song. A short time after that, AKP edited their title, confirming my thoughts. It is in fact a full song and I rectified my title as soon as I was able to, which was just a few short minutes after I originally posted the original one. Thank you for believing in OhDara as an institution. I apologize for the confusion I may have caused you and our other readers. Please accept my apologies and I sincerely hope that you will continue supporting us! Cheers! – Belle
