She went on to become a member of the group Triple Dose. In 1995, she joined the group 4Kast and released the album Any Weather as part of the group.
After 4Kast broke up, Sharissa went on to do background vocals for Wyclef Jean, Father MC and Carl Thomas. She was signed to Motown and in 2002, released her album No Half Stepping. The title track of the album peaked at #78 on the R&B charts. The album's biggest hit was "Any Other Night" which reached #72 on the Hot 100 and #23 on the R&B charts.
