Sultan + Shepard

After a chance meeting at an after hours club in Montreal in 2002, Ossama Al Sarraf and Ned Shepard quickly discovered they had a natural musical chemistry. They began collaborating on original songs and remixes, signing their first song to John Digweed’s Bedrock label. From collaborations with revered EDM artists such as Dillon Francis and Tiësto, to remixes for major pop acts like Coldplay, Ed Sheeran, Lady Gaga, and Madonna, the duo established themselves as one of dance music’s leading partnerships. 
The next few years saw them tour around the world including stops at Tomorrowland, Ultra and EDC. During this time they were recognized by their peers for major accolades including a Grammy nomination for Best Remixed Recording for their remix of Bruno Mars “Locked Out Of Heaven" and two Juno Award nominations for Best Dance Recording. 
Most recently the duo have returned to their melodic house and progressive roots, signing with Lane 8 and his label This Never Happened and launching a radio show Dialekt Radio. They have released several singles and EP’s, collaborating with Jon Hopkins Angela McCluskey, Shallou, Le Youth and others. In 2021 they released their second album “Something, Everything” to much critical acclaim. In 2023, they released their third album “Forever, Now” featuring collaborations with Julia Church, Andrew Belle, Delhia De France and others.
