[2] Back in the 1990s of Washington, DC, Sharam Tayebi met Ali "Dubfire" Shirazinia, also an Iranian immigrant, and together in 1992 formed Deep Dish.

[26] Sharam split from Dubfire and Deep Dish in 2006, and launched his solo career with the release of his own Global Underground mix compilation Dubai GU29 on October 17.

[11] Get Wild was a concept album inspired by Sergio Leone spaghetti westerns, featured Daniel Bedingfield, Public Enemy’s Chuck D, and Mötley Crüe’s Tommy Lee,[30] and rose up the US club charts.

[33] In 2014, Sharam and Dubfire reunited Deep Dish, playing gigs in selected cities and recording new material, at the same time maintaining their solo work.

Originally entitled A Warehouse, with its new title, the album debuted on the iTunes Dance Top 10 on its release day June 10, 2016.

[2] Paying homage to his musical history and influences from as far back as the '80s to the drum 'n bass of today, Sharam featured songs with collaborators like disco producer Giorgio Moroder, singer-songwriter Daniel Bedingfield, frequent vocal collaborator Anousheh, Chance Caspian and Alex Neri.

[41] Collecti debuted in the Top 20 on iTunes Dance chart and showcased a total of fifteen original tracks, some of which were compiled from previous releases but most of which were created for the album.

[42] Sharam said of the album's creation: "These records are my dance floor experiments, my secret weapons, tracks that have been driving my sets.

"[41] The album was followed by a tour that included dates in Europe and North America[43] and a free master class at Los Angeles's IO Academy, where Sharam talked with students about the creation and production of some of the tracks on Collecti.

"[45] Mixmag said that the album's track "Melodi" was, "a sophisticated, swelling tune that bounces from stripped back rises to bass-driven breakdowns.
