His father is of Irish descent who was a lawyer and worked for the Aboriginal Legal Service.〔〔 His mother, Roslyn Sultan, is an indigenous Australian of the Arrernte and Gurindji people.〔 When Sultan was three the family visited his mother's ancestral lands in Yuendumu (300 kilometres north-west of Alice Springs) in the Tanami Desert;〔 soon after they returned to Melbourne.〔 When a teenager his parents separated and, with his mother, he lived in Cairns for three years; at seventeen he returned to Fitzroy.〔〔 Sultan started playing guitar at four and wrote his first song at ten. His mother's friend gave him an "old, clapped-out electric guitar" and, when living in Fitzroy, he began singing at local pubs.〔 In 2000 he met Scott Wilson, a guitarist, at a Williamstown pub's karaoke night and the pair began writing tracks together.〔 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?'... (had a ) mighty voice. A lot of people can play guitar... Not many can sing like that." Sultan released his debut solo album, ''Homemade Biscuits'' (13 March 2006), with most tracks written by Wilson or co-written by Sultan and Wilson.〔 It was produced by Wilson at Flowerpress Studios, Newport and True Form Services, Spotswood. Other performers on the album were Lazare Agnekis, Neil Gray, Elijah Maiyah, Lochile McKlean and Ben Wicks.〔 He received the financial assistance of John Butler's Seed program.〔 Sultan won the Single Release of The Year at the 2007 Deadly Awards for "Your Love Is Like a Song", which was co-written with Wilson.〔(【引用サイトリンク】Australasian Performing Right Association (APRA) "> 'Your Love Is Like a Song' at APRA search engine ) Note: User may have to click "Search again" and provide details at "Enter a title:" e.g. Your Love Is Like a Song; or at "Performer:" Dan Sultan〕 He performed his self-written track, "Roslyn",〔 at the National Sorry Day concert in May 2007, which describes his mother, a member of the stolen generation, removed from her family when she was six or seven.〔〔 In late 2006 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'' (February 2007).
