Sharam Jey’s roots may be in soul music but he gained stage experience as a singer for a rockband. At the same time his DJing skills became hugely popular on the party scene and among his friends. His DJing started out as a part-time gig but soon turned into a passion when Sharam discovered his love for house & techno in the early 90s. His name has become an international synonym for music that just can’t be categorized. As a DJ he soon learned which tracks are guaranteed to really set the dance floor on fire. This knowledge resulted in the first remixes and other own productions in the mid-90’s that were very well received by both clubbers and critics.
In early 2001 he decided to create his own platform for his music – King Kong Records. His motto is: No compromises! With his own label, Sharam Jey can finally realise all his ideas and dreams – from sound to art work right thru to packaging. His debut artist album “4 Da Loverz” was released worldwide on Underwater Records in 2005. It raised amazing critics and even got him on the cover of famous DJ Mag. That same year a successful compilation “Episode 04” with Darren Emerson, head of Underwater Records, was published. End of 2006 two strong compilation releases were issued. First up was the release of the second part of the Afterdark series by Stealth Records. And secondly 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 celebrates its 5th anniversary with the very first double cd-compilation “5 Years: Of King Kong Records”. This was accompanied by a huge world tour that led Sharam through all continents. End of 2007 will see the release of the 4th single from the “4 Da Loverz” – album called “Message To Love” which will feature remixes by The Glimmers, Kaos, Alex Metric and the LouLou Players. King Kong records will also release some Sharam Jey classics remixed by some huge names and friends. 2008 will be another huge year for King Kong with the release of Sharam’s second artist album.
