Indian playback singer Javed Ali was born Javed Hussain on July 5, 1983 in Delhi, India and sings mostly in Hindi, but has also sung in a plethora of regional languages including Bengali, Kannada, Malayalam, Gujarati, Marathi, Odia, Tamil, Telugu and Urdu. Encouraged by his father, qawwali singer Ustad Hamid Hussain, he began singing at an early age and was later mentored by Ghazal singer Ghulam Ali who coached him as well as inviting him to sing at his concerts. To show his appreciation, Javed Hussain changed his name to Javed Ali in tribute. He recorded his first song, in Hindi, in 2000; "Chori Chori Aankh" for Bollywood comedy-drama film, Beti No.1. His first proper breakthrough came in 2007 when he stepped up to sing "Ek Din Teri Raahon Mein" for the Indian Hindi-language suspense thriller film Naqaab, which paved the way for his next career high, a gig singing "Jashn-e-Bahaaran" for the Indian epic historical drama Jodhaa Akbar in 2008. The following year, he picked up The Best Male Playback Singer prize at the IIFA Awards. His career went from strength to strength after that, with Javed Ali providing vocals for a diverse range of film soundtracks across Bollywood, Kollywood and Tollywood, including 2009's Delhi-6 ("Arziyan"), 2011's Rockstar ("Kun Faya Kun"), 2012's Raaz 3 ("Deewana Kar Raha Hai"), 2019's Dabangg 3 ("Naina Lade") and 2021's Pushpa: The Rise (D) ("Srivalli"). He also has worked as a judge on various reality shows including season 10 of Indian Idol Season in 2018, and has amassed a catalog of devotional music, releasing "Ho Na Juda" with composer Ayaz Ismail in 2020.
