Sharam Jey from Cologne is a real all rounder. His roots may be in soul music but he gained stage experience as the singer for a rock band. At the same time his DJing skills became hugely popular on the party scene and amongst his friends. His DJing started out as a part-time gig but soon turned into a passion when Sharam discovered his love for house and techno in the early 90s. As a DJ he soon learned which tracks were guaranteed to set the dancefloor on fire. This knowledge resulted in the first remixes and other own productions in the mid-90s that were well received by both clubbers and critics.

After his remix of Cafè Del Mar’s ‘Energy 52’ was voted Best Dance Track Of All Time (Mixmag), Sharam went on to remix the likes of Moby, Mylo, Faith No More, Faithless, Salt N Peppa, Warren G and more. This is in addition to over 50 releases on labels like Underwater, Hooj Choons and Airtight. In early 2001 he decided to create his own platform for his music – King Kong Records. His motto? No compromises! With his own label, Sharam could finally realise all his ideas and dreams – from sound to art work right through to packaging.

His debut artist album, ‘4 Da Loverz’, was released worldwide on Underwater Records in 2005. It raised critical acclaim and even got him on the cover of DJ Mag. That same year he released the successful compilation ‘Episode 04’ with Darren Emerson, head of Underwater Records. At the End of 2006 he’d released two more strong compilations. First up was his mix on the Afterdark series by Stealth Records. Second was a compilation was issued to accompany his Australia tour called ‘Kink Vol. 2’ out on EMI Australia/Ministry Of Sound.

In 2007 King Kong Records celebrated its 5th anniversary with its first double-CD compilation, ‘5 Years: Of King Kong Records’. This was accompanied by a huge world tour that led Sharam through all continents. At End of 2007 he released his fourth single from the ‘4 Da Loverz’, the track ‘Message To Love’, with remixes from The Glimmers, Kaos, Alex Metric and the LouLou Players. 2008 will be another huge year for King Kong with the release of Sharam’s second artist album.
