After spending a number of years in Toronto , Ally's first big break came when he won the Canadian Reggae Music Award in 1990. This was an award given by Jamaican promoters in Canada , to budding singers who had invaded the music scene and had made a significant breakthrough with reggae music.

By this time, Ally had already released several CDs, which were causing quite a stir among music lovers. Ally had won the Canadian Reggae Music Award from a field of other singers from various parts of the world.

Even though he is of Indo-Guyanese origin, Ally performs extremely well in the reggae, lover's rock and slow dub music disciplines.

“I always liked to be extra-ordinary, so I just worked on doing something different from others. Though it was risky, I plunged head long into the field of reggae and lovers rock and in no time was climbing the ladder of fame. I guess it was my specialty, really,” Ally said.

Soon after his major success in 1990, he shared the same stage with celebrity Indian performers, Khumar Sanu and Dilau Mahandi, who had visited Canada . The bubbly and somewhat aggressive musician soon after copped the Habeeb Khan Award for successful musicians in Canada .

This award was given to him at a special ‘Habeeb Khan Awards Night' held in Toronto . In 2003, he was also nominated along with other talented musicians for the Juno Music Awards in Canada .

In 2006 he teamed up with Sammy Baksh to thrill Guyanese through what he described as a musical inferno at the ‘One Love Guyana, Mash Music Mix 2006' show, held at the National Cultural Centre. Baksh had just returned from the United States.
