Early Life and Background

Alauddin Ali was born on 24 December 1952 in the Banshbari village of Tongibari Upazila of the Munshiganj District. His father was Ustad Jadab Ali and his Mother's name was Johra Khatun.[4]

Ali's father was a staff artiste at the Dhaka radio station. His uncle, Sadek Ali, and cousins Dhir Ali Miah, Mansur Ali, Yunus Ali and Momotaz Uddin, were music directors and composers there during the 1960s.[2]

At the age of one year and six months, Alauddin Ali moved with his family to AGB Colony, Motijheel, Dhaka. This talented artist grew up in that colony with three brothers and two sisters. His first hand in music was with his younger uncle Sadek Ali. Later in 1986 he entered the film world as a musician. He started as an associate of Shaheed Altaf Mahmud and later worked with renowned composer Anwar Pervez for a long time.[4]

Career

In 1968, Ali joined as a film instrumentalist and assistant to composer Altaf Mahmud.[5] Ali's first film as a music director was Shondhikkhon (1975).[1]

In 1978, he made his breakthrough by composing songs for the movie Golapi Ekhon Traine. He composed two songs "Achen Amar Moktar" and "Haire Kopal Mondo, Chokh Thakite Ondho" in this movie. Both the songs took Alauddin Ali to another height. Another film called 'Fakir Majnu Shah' was released in the same year. The songs 'Premer Agune', 'Sobai Bole Boyosh Bare' and 'Chokher Nojor Emni Koira' of that movie made everyone interested in Alauddin Ali.[6]

"The audience response after conducting the music for the first film was not very good. The film did not do well commercially. I did not regret it. But through the film Golapi Ekhon Traine, it is as if I am riding on the train of success. Whatever I have done since then, the audience has given me two hands, loved me."
