Dan Sultan
Dan Sultan is an Australian alternative rock singer-songwriter-guitarist. At the ARIA Music Awards of 2010 he won Best Male Artist and Best Blues & Roots Album for his second album, Get Out While You Can. At the 2014 ceremony he won Best Rock Album for Blackbird, which had reached number four on the ARIA Albums Chart.
Born in the Melbourne suburb of Williamstown to an Irish father and aboriginal mother, Dan Sultan was raised both in the city and in Northern Territory town of Yuendumu, where his father worked as a lawyer for the Aboriginal Legal Service. He began playing music at a young age, influenced by Jimi Hendrix and classic guitar rock, though tribal culture was also a mainstay of his youth and would later find a place in his musical life.
Working with guitarist and collaborator Scott Wilson, Dan Sultan released his debut album, Homemade Biscuits, in 2006 aided by a grant from musician John Butler’s Seed Fund. His soulful, country-influenced rock was well-received and his second album, 2009’s Get Out While You Can, made it to number one on Australia’s independent album chart. He and his band went on to play most of the country’s prominent musical festivals.
