She is a vocalist of astonishing diversity with a range covering music from the mediaeval European to the classical Eastern - Persian, Lebanese and Indian.
In November 1995, along with Greg Ellis, Ali formed Vas, producing four albums: Sunyata (1997), Offerings (1998), In the Garden of Souls (2000), and Feast of Silence (2004).
In 2002 she released her first solo album, Portals of Grace, which saw her expand her repertoire even farther and prove her to be equally as adept in singing in 13th century French-Provençal, Galician and Ladino as she is in Arabic.
In 2005, Ali worked on a new project called Niyaz with solo artist Carmen Rizzo and Axiom of Choice member Loga Ramin Torkian. Its self-titled album, Niyaz features Ali's vocals sung in Urdu and Farsi, backed up by more electronica-style music.
In June 2006, Ali released another latest solo album, Elysium for the Brave, where she includes English singing in her repertoire.
Azam Ali collaborated with Keyavash Nourai and Shahrokh Yadegari on the album Green Memories, released in September of 2008.
In 2011, the latest album, From Night to the Edge of Day was released. It features Ali's unique take on traditional Middle Eastern songs and lullabies.

Ode to Melancholy
Azam Ali Lyrics
This is my ode
To melancholy
To all that's been lost
To all that could be
Close your eyes
Take my hand
Together we'll wander
In search of lost lands
Where time is a treasure
Drawn in sand
And stars like forests
Hold hidden paths
Where love comes gently
In a warm night breeze
With tender sorrow
And arms to heal
Where the heart meets the lover
That moonlight shields
Where the sadness of today
Is tomorrow's dream
This is my ode
To melancholy
To all that's been lost
To all that could be
To the haunted waters
That reach for me
To the ghosts of lost time
Who call to me
To melancholy
To all that's been lost
To all that could be
Close your eyes
Take my hand
Together we'll wander
In search of lost lands
Where time is a treasure
And stars like forests
Hold hidden paths
Where love comes gently
In a warm night breeze
With tender sorrow
And arms to heal
Where the heart meets the lover
That moonlight shields
Where the sadness of today
Is tomorrow's dream
This is my ode
To melancholy
To all that's been lost
To all that could be
To the haunted waters
That reach for me
To the ghosts of lost time
Who call to me

🇧🇷 Acredito que nem é preciso o uso de entorpecentes para ir a lugares imaginários com uma sonoridade única de Azam Ali. Tenho a impressão que suas canções são terapêuticas - ouço em qualquer situação, porém, é nos momentos mais difíceis que consigo raciocinar e organizar os pensamentos para ter mais clareza em tomar decisões, quando deixo a música me envolver e sinto cada nota, cada palavra como se fossem bálsamos.... Azam Ali é sem dúvidas um ser de outro planeta.
