About Ali

Ali Arjibuk Mills is a Larrakia woman and became a part of the group Mills Sisters in 1982. She sings in Kriol.

I believe we need food, air, water and songs to survive. Nothing gives me more of a lift than a song. This is my ultimate high. If I couldn't sing I think I might die.

— Ali Arjibuk Mills
