Born in Anjukandy in Kannur district on 10 March 1933, Ummer made his debut in the 1967 film Thalirukkal. It was director A. Vincent who first recognized his musical talents. In 1969 he got the opportunity to compose songs for the film Almaram, directed by Vincent. Two years later, Vincent made the musical hit Abhijathyam which established A. T. Ummer in the Malayalam film field.
In the 1970s, Ummer teamed up with lyricist Bichu Thirumala to compose some outstanding melodies. He has also given tunes to lyrics by other eminent poets and song writers, including P. Bhaskaran and O. N. V. Kurup.
