Biography
Dostah has been writing and recording music since 2001. He remained completely under the radar with no official releases until the end of 2008, when D-O-E decided to finally give Dostah a chance with his own career as an artist. Sykophunk Productions released two Dostah Shilailee albums: After Midnight and Through the Veins. The albums received minimal marketing and gained Dostah little attention. However, there was somebody who noticed Dostah's sudden online presence. In February, 2009, the associate producer of The Colbert Report approached Dostah to use his remix, "Make You Grind", on the show. The track, a remix of Stephen Colbert's sarcastic desire to not have his fans remix his material, was made available on indaba.com. During the February 2nd interview Colbert did with Dan Zaccagnino (founder of Indaba), a clip of Dostah's remix was aired on the show. In less than three months of having released any material, Dostah managed to get his music on cable television while still a virtually unknown artist.

Also in February 2009, Sykophunk Productions announced two upcoming Dostah Shilailee albums: Tales from the Dark Domain and Dostah Shilailee vs. DJ Deff. Street dates for these releases are TBA.
