Ali Gatie, a Canadian musician, is known for his heartfelt love songs. But what is love to him? In a recent interview with local Emirati entrepreneur Anas Bukhash, Ali shares his insights into love and how it has influenced his music.

To Ali, love is “wanting more for someone than they want for themselves.” He believes in telling stories through his music, and for him, the best topic to write about is love. “What’s the biggest stories of all time? If there’s no love, betrayal, anger like always comes to love the universe,” he says.

Ali’s love for music started with poetry. His father claims that poetry runs in their blood, and Ali feels that his passion for poetry eventually led him to become a rapper. Although rap is like poetry, Ali found that writing love songs allowed him to touch people’s hearts.

He prefers to create songs that make people cry, rather than just dance for a few minutes…

I’d rather touch your heart and stay with you

Ali believes that the concept of love was first taught to him by his mother, who showered him with unconditional love. He describes their connection as “special,” and says that he was lucky to have a childhood filled with love.

His mother’s love taught him the importance of love in life, and he believes that love is what makes life worth living. “If you believe in God, it’s about, you know, God’s love for us. It’s about your love for the prophet or whatever you believe in, you know, love,” he says.

In a world where love is often portrayed superficially in music, Ali Gatie stands out for his genuine love songs. His music is a reflection of his understanding of love, and his desire to create something that will touch people’s hearts for years to come.

As he says, “I want my kids in 30 years when they’re my age now to listen back and be like, yeah, maybe it’s not the biggest hit now, but this is still meaningful and it’s something to be proud of.”
