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.

Tender Violet
Azam Ali Lyrics
I’ve lost my way
I’m far from home
I’ve taken every road that I know
In search of your love
Don’t tell me I’m near
Don’t call my name
Don’t tell me how close I have been
To feel the hand of your love
Tender violet
Wash over me
Tender violet
Where I long to be
And I fall….
I’ll bed the sky
To tell the stars of my pain
I’ll sing to the stones of my sorrows
Abandon my heart to the wind
Don’t show me your light
Don’t tempt my gaze
Don’t tell me that time demands my silence
That there are things worth living for
Tender violet
Wash over me
Tender violet
Where I long to be
And I fall….
I’m far from home
I’ve taken every road that I know
In search of your love
Don’t tell me I’m near
Don’t call my name
Don’t tell me how close I have been
To feel the hand of your love
Wash over me
Tender violet
Where I long to be
And I fall….
I’ll bed the sky
To tell the stars of my pain
I’ll sing to the stones of my sorrows
Abandon my heart to the wind
Don’t show me your light
Don’t tempt my gaze
Don’t tell me that time demands my silence
That there are things worth living for
Tender violet
Wash over me
Tender violet
Where I long to be
And I fall….
