About Lucky Ali

The soulful voice that defined India's 1990s non-film pop movement. Lucky Ali's debut album Sunoh (1996) proved that Indian artists could sell millions of records outside the Bollywood system. His introspective, folk-inflected style and songs like O Sanam became the soundtrack of a generation discovering MTV India.
