Ali Gatie (Arabic: علي غاتي; born May 31, 1997) is an Iraqi–Canadian singer and songwriter managed by SAL&CO. In 2019, his song "It's You" achieved worldwide success, charting on the US Billboard Hot 100 peaked at number 70[1] and reaching the top 30 in Australia, Canada, Ireland and Sweden, as well as the top 10 in New Zealand and in Germany.

Early life

[edit]

Ali Gatie was born in Yemen in 1997 to Iraqi parents.[1] His family moved to Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates before settling down outside of Toronto, Canada.[1] He grew up listening to Ed Sheeran, J. Cole and Frank Ocean, who influenced his music.[2]

Career

[edit]

Ali Gatie, who has been managed by SAL&CO since May 2020 [3] started pursuing a music career at the age of 18 and started to record in 2016. This decision later caused him to drop out of university where he was studying business.[2] In 2017, he won an online RhymeStars competition hosted by Joe Budden. After releasing several singles in 2018, he was signed by Warner Records.[4] His first commercial success came with the release of "Moonlight," which received nearly 14 million views on Youtube. However, the release of "It's You" in June 2019 would become his mainstream breakthrough;[5] an "explosive streaming story", as of December 2019, it had exceeded 650 million streams.[6][7] On 8 November 2019, Gatie released his debut EP, "You," which was accompanied by a 12-minute film that included seven new songs.[8]
