Tonight we had a man who’s minimalist piano tones, haunting vocals and intrinsic lyrics gave him brand of sound that got wide-spread acclaim in the Malaysian music scene. His name is Ali Aiman and he’s a name you won’t forget any time soon.

 

Ali Aiman is a 28 year old local electronic-pop musician-producer and a part time lecturer at the International College Of Music (ICOM) in the heart of KL. Ali was born in Miri but was raised in KL. He was introduced to the piano at an early age but loathed the classes and exams related to it. Feeling like a chore instead of a tool for expression (still managed to finish grade 8). During high school, he started listening to rock music and figured the guitar was his thing. He also picked up the trumpet as he is a multi-instrumentalist.

 

He started studying engineering earlier but figured it wasn’t his main passion. He enrolled in ICOM as a guitar student with a strong love for metal. But soon after he changed to become a piano player majoring in jazz music when he started exploring different types of music. He continued his studies to the famous Berklee College Of Music in Boston, Massachusetts. Spent a total five years there with two for studying and three working for production.

 

When Ali came back, he wanted an avenue to be recognized by people as his ultimate goal is to write music for others. He went to work on a few songs and in 2014, his six-track EP called Overture was released and positive reviews started to wash all over Ali. Currently, Ali is hard at work producing more tracks and if we’re lucky, his first full album should be completed soon.


For the record, Ali scored 21!
