QUOTES BY Javed Ali


I owe my success to Allah and my parents who have sacrificed so much to get me where I am.

From my early training days, I am an avid listener of heavy music which is laced with proper diction and effective use of grammar of music.

I am huge fan of Lata Mangeshkar, Kishore Kumar, Mohammad Rafi, Ghulam Ali and Mehdi Hassan. Listening to these people inspired me to become a singer.

Coming from a middle class background, I faced a lot of hardships during my initial years in Mumbai. I did not have much money and had to sing jingles and bhajans to survive. But those years taught me that a singer should be versatile.

Tum Tak' is a beautiful thought and is a rhythmic expression. It's been composed beautifully. It may sound easy but is difficult to attempt or sing it live.

Until I started performing in public, when at the end of the concert people would come to me with teary eyes and say that my performance took them to a trance zone, I had no idea that I can create an impact with my singing.

I'm not complaining if my work is getting more recognition than me.

I grew up listening to Hindi and Marathi songs of Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosale.

I like works by Bryan Adams and Mariah Carey, among others.
