Born and raised in Nottingham, England, imported to Perth, Western Australia around the turn of the century. Plays the keys, guitar, harmonica and percussion. Started writing and performing around the solo circuit and with various bands throughout Northern England and London. Followed his heart down under and put together a four-piece band, Matters of Fiction who, three short months after, won the “Best of the Best†Competition. As part of the prize they recorded their debut EP at Kingdom Studios with top Engineer Les Williams (Black Eyed Peas / We Were Soldiers Soundtrack). The EP, entitled All You is also available on Itunes.
Ali’s soul is with Blues n Roots music in the vein of Ray Lamontagne, James Morrison, and Tom Waits, but he has written and performed a varied plethora of musical styles over the years including R’n’B, Drum’n’bass, pop ballads, electro, trip hop, rock and funk. In 2002 Ali even co-wrote and recorded a dance track with Neil Kerr at the Artful Dodger’s “Wharf Studios†in Southampton. The track aptly called Stay High debuted in Ibiza and the Miami Music festival where DJ Tall Paul added the track to his set. The song has recently signed to Beats4Life Records. Ali has also composed pieces for theatre at the Edinburgh Festival.
Even before coming to Australia, Ali has been lucky enough to travel through Europe and America and has managed to play at some inspiring venues including one of CBGS’s last ever gigs. Ali has written well over 100 songs and often looks to masterpieces such as Van Morrison’s Astral Weeks, Jeff Buckley’s Grace, Radiohead’s Ok Computer, Pink Floyd’s The Darkside of the Moon and relishes in their ability to send shivers with powerful and lulling melodies and poetic lyrics. These factors will be at the forefront of Ali’s mind when he soon sets foot in the studio.
