When Amrik Singh Talwandi, President of Punjabi Sahit Sabha, Zira, heard Ali sing for the first time, he said that his voice resembles with that of the emperor folk singers, Kalian da Badshah and Kuldeep Manak. Amrik introduced Ali to the President of the World Punjabi Culture Sabha, S. Jasdev Singh Jassowal. After listening to his music, Jassowal decided to give him a chance to sing at The Mela, Festival of Music, organised in the memory of Prof. Mohan Singh. He proved his ability to sing with a high pitch when he sang the song, ‘Kade Tuttdi Vichaloyon Na’ and ‘Yaari Jatt Di Toot Da Mocha’.
