Early life
Sultan is a Arrente/Gurindji man.[1]
Sultan started playing guitar at four and wrote his first song at ten.[2] His mother's friend gave him an "old, clapped-out electric guitar" and, when living in Fitzroy, he began singing at local pubs.[3] In 2000 he met Scott Wilson, a guitarist, at a Williamstown pub's karaoke night and the pair began writing tracks together.[3] Wilson later recalled "What struck me at first was that he could play piano and guitar and he was a great foil for what I was doing... After a while playing together he said, 'Can I sing this one?' I said, 'Do you know the words?'... [he had a] mighty voice. A lot of people can play guitar... Not many can sing like that."[4]
Career
2006–2008: Homemade Biscuits
Sultan released his debut solo album, Homemade Biscuits on 13 March 2006, with most tracks written by Scott Wilson or co-written by Sultan and Scott Wilson.[5] It was produced by Scott Wilson at Flowerpress Studios, Newport, and True Form Services, Spotswood.[6] Other performers on the album were Lazare Agnekis, Neil Gray, Elijah Maiyah, Lochile McKlean and Ben Wicks.[6] He received the financial assistance of John Butler's Seed program.[3]

Sultan and Wilson were invited by Paul Kelly to record a cover version of "This Land Is Mine", originally by singer-songwriter Kev Carmody, for a various artists tribute album of Carmody's work, Cannot Buy My Soul which was released in February 2007.[9] They also performed at two concerts of the same name: the Sydney Festival in January 2008 and Queensland Music Festival in August 2009.[10][11] In January 2008 Sultan's backing band consisted of Eugene Ball on trumpet, Ben Gillespie on trombone, Joshua Jones on bass guitar, Peter Marin on drums, Ash Naylor on guitar and Gina Woods on keyboards.[12] Sultan and his band have performed at Australian music festivals.
