Ali Movasat, commonly known as Dj Aligator was born on March 10th 1975, in Tehran, Iran. At age 13, it was decided for Ali to move in with his oldest sister who at the time resided in Copenhagen, Denmark. Upon graduating from high school, Ali entered the Rhythmic program at the Danish Music Conservatory.

Among the many DJs and promoters Ali met was Rene Dif, someone who shared strong interests in music style with Ali. The acquaintance resulted in a music album.?On a November night in 1999, as Ali was playing at his turntable in a nightclub, he happened to notice some guys on the dance floor blowing at whistles to the beats of the music. The combination of the sound of the whistles and the techno music seemed to work quite well. Ali then sampled the sound of an old whistle he'd found somewhere, made a recording. With strong faith in his new creation Ali set about paying almost every record company in Denmark a visit, presenting his Whistle Song. Unfortunately none of the directors recognized the potential success of the piece. Ali then burnt over 180 copies of the Whistle Song on CDs and shipped them out to every single DJ he knew in Denmark, asking them to play it for their audience.

The reputation of the Whistle Song helped the famous underground DJ, Kenneth Bager, offered Ali a contract with his minor record label called FLEX, which was owned by EMI Records, the largest record label in the world. Once released, the Whistle Song crawled up the Danish music chart at a record breaking pace. Ali's single occupied the #1 position on Danish sales chart for 14 weeks, Danish dance chart for 16 weeks, DJs favorite chart for 8 weeks, and the Danish hype chart for couple of weeks in a row.

About three months later, Ali's first album was due release. It included the Whistle Song, Lollipop, Turn up the music, and a few other great songs that also gained as much popularity as Ali's earlier work. Interesting enough, in order to send a message to all the record companies that originally refused to give him a chance, Ali chose to name his album Payback Time. In the year 2002, The Whistle Song became a huge hit in the UK ending up as number 5 on the official UK single sales chart. On the day of the release, The Whistle Song sold more than 50,000 copies in the UK alone. He was asked to perform live on the British music chart show, Top Of The Pops, along with Daniel Bedingfield, Pink, Enrique Iglesias, Britney Spears and other celebs.

Shortly after, DJ Aligator Project released a second album, called The Sound Of Scandinavia. This album as well became as big a success as Payback Time, selling more than 2 million copies worldwide. DJ Aligator Project has sold over 6 million copies around the globe. Also, DJ Aligator is considered the first Danish and Iranian artist ever to have won awards in Russian Music Awards, Danish Music Awards and Danish Dance Awards along with a nomination in MTV Europe Music Awards.

Nowadays, Ali has chosen to settle down in southern Sweden, where he has purchased two conjoined villas in a secluded suburban area. He's also turned one of the villas into his private recording studio that he calls Gator Records.
