From the desert heat of his country of origin to the winter rigours of Canada , Sultan has travelled a road quite out of the ordinary. After living in Kuwait , Cyprus and Egypt , Sultan moved to Montreal , Canada in 1996 to pursue an education in Mechanical Engineering and Business. Inspired by the vitality of the nightlife and his passion for music, he quickly immersed himself into the house scene of his adoptive city. Little by little, his interest for structures irrepressibly shifted from engineering to music.

In 1999, he purchased his first turntables together with the firm intention of standing out in a jungle of DJs. From the start, his approach was quite different as it was influenced by the multiple cultures assimilated in his native countries. While the Montreal scene had ears only for techno-accented house, Sultan became the most prominent representative, and the instigative force behind the house/progressive movement of the local scene.

In 2000, his reputation took root in solid ground when Montreal 's Mix 96 radio station assigned him the 12-3 a.m. slot every Sunday night. And In July that same year, Sultan became the weekly Level resident at club Living, opening and playing alongside such DJs as Deep Dish, Sander Kleinenberg, Danny Howells, Saeed and Palash, Max Graham, Nick Warren, Lee Burridge and many more.

Following his graduation from university in the summer of 2001, and in the wake of his DJ success as resident at the internationally renown Stereo and Sona after hours, Sultan created his own studio in order to unleash his talent as a producer. Once again, the results were tremendous. His first-ever production, "Primal Instinct” was signed to Chug Records that same year and garnered much appraise. The door had opened and with great enthusiasm Sultan quickly established himself as one of the most innovative and respectable producers in the house/progressive scene with releases on various labels including Deep Dish's Yoshitoshi label and John Digweed's Bedrock Breaks Label. Sultan now has more than 40 titles under his belt with releases under the aliases of Soul Tan and Jiva (Sultan and Ned Shepard), as well as numerous collaborations with Tone Depth (The Greek) and TommyBoy.

In 2003, international recognition became imminent whereas four of Sultan's productions (including a remix) were featured on “ Global Underground 25: Toronto” mixed by Deep Dish, which made its way to number one on the Billboard Dance Album Charts. In 2004 Sultan began to make his mark on the international music scene playing over thirty international tour dates across North America, Europe, Asia and Africa while maintaining a solid consistency in his productions and remixes.

2005 has seen Sultan rise to the next level with highlights including a showcase playing after Tiesto at Space during the Miami Winter Music Conference, the release of several big remixes including the massive, much anticipated “Deep Dish vs. Dire Straits – Flashing for Money” featured on Deep Dish's artist album “George is On” and the release of several Sultan originals on world renown compilations including Tiesto's latest “Searching for Sunrise 4” and Behrouz's Renaissance Frontiers.
