Sayfuz Ali (Bengali: সৈফুয আলী; born 27 August 1988), better known by his stage name Char Avell, is an English singer-songwriter and actor.
Ali grew up in a Bangladeshi household in the heart of East London. He was homeless at a certain point in time and lost his father at a young age. Music has inspired Ali from an early age as well.
Ali started as an unsigned artist known mononymously as Sayfuz. As Sayfuz, his debut single "Putting on a Act" was released.
Mumzy Stranger discovered Ali in his neighbourhood, and mentored and assimilated his sounds with Stranger's music. In July 2011, Ali was signed by Tiffin Beats Records. His first single "Say You Love Me" was released in November 2012, which was produced by Stranger. It fuses the Punjabi vocals of Junai Kaden with Avell's R&B vocals. His other singles include, "Sky Is Falling Down", "Gone", "Lost Soul", "Roadside" and "All Nighter". Avell also features on Ramee's debut single "Peeng".
In May 2012, Ali was interviewed by DJ Nihal on BBC Asian Network. In April 2012, Ali performed live on the Kan D Man and DJ Limelight show on BBC Asian Network.
