Born in Anjukandy in [[Kannur district]] on 10 March 1933, as the son of A. T. Moideen Kunhi and Sainaba, Ummer made his debut in the 1967 film ''Thalirukkal''.<ref>{{cite news |publisher=The Hindu |title=Chords & Notes |url=http://www.hinduonnet.com/thehindu/mp/2005/03/07/stories/2005030700420400.htm |date=7 March 2005 |access-date=25 December 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050506124120/http://www.hinduonnet.com/thehindu/mp/2005/03/07/stories/2005030700420400.htm |archive-date=6 May 2005 |url-status=usurped |df=dmy-all }}</ref> In 1969 he composed songs for the film ''Almaram'', directed by [[A.
