Part DJ, part producer, part label owner, and one half of the
well known house music duo, Deep Dish, Sharam (born Sharam Tayebi) first
hit the big time in his partnership with fellow DJ Ali "Dubfire"
Shirazinia and their 1998 release Junk Science. Over the course of 15
plus years and even more equally successful releases, Deep Dish became a
name to be reckoned with in the scene, and both Sharam's and Ali's stars rose
higher and higher. Eventually founding their own Deep Dish label the two
would go on to remix tracks for some of the world's biggest pop
performers, including Madonna, Dido, and the Rolling Stones. As a solo
artist, Sharam hit the big
time in 2006 with his remix of the Eddie Murphy classic "Party All the
Time." The track became ubiquitous at that year's Ibiza holiday season,
and kindled a battle amongst larger labels to release the track
internationally. Sharam
counted a large number of awards for his work on his resume as well,
winning a Grammy in 2002 (for Dido's "Thank You") and the Ibiza DJ award
in 2004. He continued to pursue the business end of music running not
only Deep Dish, but heading up (with Ali) Yoshitoshi Recordings and
Shinichi Recordings. Throughout the busy schedule and numerous projects,
both Ali and Sharam kept a
consistent touring schedule, featuring in clubs all over the world.
