Shortly after emerging in 2007, Sherif quickly built a reputation as one of the Detroit’s most dexterous and innovative new talents. While performing his unique brand of tech-house in venues throughout the Midwest, Sherif was brought to the attention of the Bleu Room; Detroit’s premier electronic music experience (2001-2009) It was here, that Sherif skyrocketed to the upper echelons of the Detroit electronic music scene, opening for Josh Gabriel (Gabriel & Dresden) during the weekend of “Movement 2008” (Paxahau’s annual Detroit Electronic Music Festival). The success of this performance secured Sherif a rotation as one of the Bleu Room’s newest permanent resident DJs.

In 2010, Sherif released Dope Speaker, which was picked up by Myth. Records but first making its way onto one of dance music’s biggest and oldest labels Perfecto. Owned by Paul Oakenfold, Perfecto released Dope Speaker on its latest compilation/artist album Perfecto Presents: Kenneth Thomas.
