Zahed Sultan is a London-Kuwait based multimedia artist, social entrepreneur, culture producer, and filmmaker. He has performed and presented his work worldwide, including North America, UK, Europe, Middle East and Asia. Sultan is particularly known for his live audio-visual performances.[1]

Music career

Career beginnings

Sultan began his career at the age of 14 as a DJ for both mixed and segregated parties in Kuwait.[2] During his time in college, he worked as a promoter for nightclubs around Boston, MA (US).[3] Sultan wrote his first track at the age of 22, using a PC and an analog Roland sampler to program and sequence the song.[4] Several years later, he created a small body of work entitled illusive for a local exhibition in Kuwait.[5] At 25, Sultan won 3rd place in DJ Sasha's Involver remix competition with Global Underground and Ableton.[6] Sultan's remix was later signed by Sasha's label Xpander to the TV series Crime Scene Investigation (CSI).[7]

Releases

Sultan released his debut album Hi Fear, Lo Love on April 1, 2011.[4] Its first single, "I Saw Her, I Fell For Her" was licensed to the movie 11.6 directed by Philippe Godeau.[8] Its second single, "I Want Her But I Don't Want Her" was featured on Stephane Pompougnac's internationally acclaimed Hôtel Costes, Vol. 15 compilation and thus became the first modern track from the Persian Gulf area to be featured on a global music compilation.[7] MTV Iggy featured Sultan's third single "Walkin Away" and highlighted Sultan as an emerging Arab Artist.[9] On September 1, 2011, the album was followed up by the Hi Fear, Lo Love Remix EP, featuring remixes of Sultan's work by artists such as Domscott and Bjorn Albyon.[10]

In 2012, Sultan released an EP titled Reuse Me in conjunction with an annual exhibition organized by his organization (The en.v Initiative) in Kuwait entitled REUSE.[11] The exhibition promotes eco-friendly living via creative mediums.[12] The EP featured the song "Like This (Ha-Ka-Tha)" and won favorable reviews by a number of online magazines and blogs such as The East / West Sound.[13] Later in 2013, Sultan was also featured on O2 Academy TV in London, UK.[14]

On September 16, 2014, "Ghazi", the first single of Sultan's sophomore album eyeamsound was released, providing a glimpse into the alternative electronic sound of the record.[15] The second single, "Democrazy", was released on May 5, 2015[16] and the album eyeamsound itself was released worldwide on June 2, 2015.[17] Musically, Sultan describes the songs on eyeamsound as having «a lot of texture and body to them». On the album, Sultan mostly sings in Arabic and English, with an additional song in broken Spanglish.[18] With titles like "Bedoon", the third single inspired by the life of stateless citizens, Sultan took a distinctively more socio-political route.[19] Music from the album has been featured on Hype Machine[20] and a short film released by Red Bull highlights his sound and live format.[3] «Strengthening Sultan’s rapidly increasing discography»,[21] in September 2016 he released the single "Cake & Butter". «Venturing into the alt-rock genre in his own unique way,» Sultan's vocals on the song «bear some resemblance to the Lizard King himself, The Doors’ Jim Morrison.»[22]

Continuing his exploration of traditional pearl diving music from the Arabian Gulf, Sultan released the Hiwar Sessions EP on May 5, 2017. This body of work was created in collaboration with producers from cities such as Kingston, Ramallah, Beirut, and Bombay to reimagine pearl diving music through Dub and Experimental music.[23] Sultan is currently completing a new EP that was recorded at Bob Marley's Tuff Gong Studio and Anchor studios in Kingston, Jamaica in collaboration with up and coming musicians from the Reggae and Dancehall scenes.[24]

Collaborations

Sultan puts a great focus on collaboration, in the studio and when performing live.[25] He has worked with many creatives like Timothy George Kelly, BASSically, Kiani Del Valle, and Wolves Visuals amongst others on various projects.[26]

In February 2016, Sultan introduced two new collaborative projects. The first one entitled Resonance was an audio-visual project teased at the RBMA Bass Camp in Dubai,[27] featuring dancer Jakob Yaw[28] and debuted at NYU Abu Dhabi,[29] featuring contortionist Mabrouk Gouciem, visual artist Teun Verkerk, and multi-instrumentalist Muhaisnah Four.[30] The second one entitled Hiwar was in the form of a two-week residency and final live performance in collaboration with The Heart of Sharjah association. «The intention for Hiwar was to explore the roots of pearl-diving music from the Persian Gulf region and discover musical bridges between traditions past and trends present.»[31]

Hiwar was then reproduced in Dubai on April 12th, 2017 to kick-off the inaugural RBMA Weekender in the Arab region, “re-contextualizing the application of ‘bahry’ culture within a present day format.” Zahed premiered a short film related to the project, also entitled Hiwar, alongside an in-depth interview with RBMA discussing “the utilitarian purpose of pearl-diving music, the evolution of related forms in the Gulf and how to celebrate cultural diversity without being a purist.”[32]

Music style

In an interview with London Live, Sultan described his music as «alternative electronic», using live instrumentation as well as electronic music to «fuse those worlds in a live scenario [and blur] the lines between analog and digital».[33]

Regarding the evolution of his musical direction from Hi Fear, Lo Love to eyeamsound, Sultan said that there «has been a significant departure from my initial body of work in terms of topically, recording and arrangement wise not to mention a multi-disciplinary approach to live performance».[25]

Music production

In addition to his own personal projects, Sultan also worked as a music producer for Saudi Arabian singer / songwriter tamtam, both on her single and remix EP Little Girl, which was released on Sultan's label at the time Mouse Music in 2012,[34] as well as on the EP Games in 2014.[35]

Music curating

In September 2013, Sultan attended the Red Bull Music Academy (RBMA) – Bass Camp in Dubai[36] and has since collaborated with Red Bull frequently as a performing artist[3] and as a music curator.[37] Together with Red Bull - Kuwait, Sultan hosted the inaugural RBMA Session – Kuwait and launched an alternative Arab music festival titled «Kuwait Rising» in January 2015.[38]

In July 2015, Sultan was part of Doug Aitken's Station to Station: A 30 Day Happening at the Barbican Centre in London, UK for the Shubbak Festival.[1] During a short on-site residency at the Barbican Art Gallery, Sultan created an «interactive audio-visual immersive experience», drawing from a series of live performances in the past, including both music from eyeamsound, as well as unreleased music in collaboration with a number of artists from different fields.[26] In October 2015, The Vinyl Factory released a short film on their website of Sultan's immersive performance at the Barbican Centre.[39]

In January 2016, Sultan hosted the RBMA Session – Kuwait which gathered 25 participants in a series of talks, educational workshops, and live jams.[40] The Session included a second edition of the «Kuwait Rising» music festival which featured acts from Egypt, Lebanon, India and a headlining performance by HVOB from Austria.[41] Sultan hosted a third edition of the festival in October 2016 featuring acts from the Middle Eastern and South Eastern regions.[42]

In April 2016, Sultan organised the REUSE platform in collaboration with TodaysArt in Kuwait City. REUSE attracted international artists like NONOTAK, The Era, and Norimichi Hirakawa to showcase their works in digital art, interactive media, music and performance.[43] In April 2017, Sultan was commissioned to curate a satellite edition of his REUSE platform in collaboration with the RISE Festival in Dubai. Celebrating the future of living, the REUSE x RISE program featured a versatile mix of performances, installations, and collaborations by artists who work with new media[44] such as Chagall, Sandunes, Maurice Mikkers and many more.

Conferences

In August 2016, Sultan was a panelist at the C/O Pop Festival in Cologne, Germany, discussing Cultural Entrepreneurship and how to learn from the creative music industry.[45] In November 2016, Sultan presented a performance talk at Nuqat entitled The Institute of the Future in collaboration with Kuwait-based experimental duo Bloom Tribe.[46] In April 2017, Sultan presented a talk at the inaugural STEP Music Conference, Dubai, where he shared his inspiration and ideas behind his ongoing project on traditional pearl diving music from the Persian Gulf, Hiwar.[47]

Other ventures

In 2006, Sultan co-founded the El Boutique Creative Group (EBCG),[48] a multi-disciplinary organization devoted to social development and creativity.[49] One of its initiatives is en.v, a Kuwait-based organization founded in 2008 to promote social responsibility and environmental sustainability in the Arab world. Its main areas of focus include education, environment and capacity-building.[50] With a focus on empowering youth, civil society organizations, and social entrepreneurs, the organization's activities include «planning and implementing social development and environmental programs in the Middle East by creating strategic partnerships with local civil society organizations, governmental actors, and the private sector».[50]

Sultan is also beginning to explore film as medium. Having released a series of music videos and shorts between 2011 and 2015, he is completing his first documentary (in music), which he co-directed and executive produced in Jamaica in early 2015.[24]

Personal life

Sultan's father, Ghazi Sultan, is from Kuwait and studied at Harvard University under the Bauhaus-legend Walter Gropius and went on to co-found one of the largest architectural firms in the Middle East, KEO International Architects.[51] He also co-founded a leading gallery for modern Arab art, Sultan Gallery.[52] His mother, Aruna Sultan, is from India and is a landscape designer, «who championed the right of women to work onboard Air India at a time when the profession was considered disreputable».[51] Sultan has two brothers, Nader Sultan and Tahir Sultan, who is a New Delhi based fashion designer.[53] Sultan grew up in Kuwait except for a couple of years that he spent in India during the Gulf War.[4] Sultan studied Business Administration at Boston University, and, after graduating, returned to Kuwait and worked at Agility.[54] Soon after, he relocated to London to study Audio Engineering at the SAE Institute. He returned to Kuwait thereafter to work on music and his ventures.[54]
