ALI THOMSON

WRITER / PRODUCER

Although born and raised in Glasgow, Scotland, Ali has spent most of his working life in London and Los Angeles. His early career began as a hit singer and recording artist in the USA, but it is his work as a songwriter and record producer that has established him in the music industry. His songs or productions have featured on a variety of different international artists recordings and sales to date are almost 20 million. He has been honoured with ASCAP and SOCAN song writing awards and was nominated for a GRAMMY for his work with Italian singing diva, Laura Pausini. In 2007 Ali was also nominated for an EMMY Award for co-writing, along with Andreas Carlsson and Jorgen Elofsson, the theme song to a Fox Television animated children’s show. His song writing is not restricted to one style or genre and he is happy to contribute as lyricist or music composer on mainstream pop or more alternative/acoustic guitar music. He has achieved much of this success co-writing with recording artists.

As well as continuing to write in the more conventional pop/rock world (No1 albums in Holland and South Africa this year), Ali has recently been commissioned to work on film projects. He co-wrote the theme song for the hugely successful British comedy “St Trinians”, performed by Girls Aloud and produced the theme song for the children’s animated film “Quest for a heart”, performed by British singing legend Lisa Stansfield. He has worked as a “sound designer” and composer on a variety of TV campaigns.

Ali is an accomplished guitar and keyboard player, has advanced expertise in music creation software like Logic Audio or Pro Tools and has a small studio in his farmhouse in Hampshire.
