Upon his graduation in 1987, he began a formidable career as a composer, creating over 40 major works, and establishing himself as a major vocalist of the era. The Islamist regime that came to power in 1989 tried to force As Sigaid and other popular singers to support them with their music, but he refused. Although life was extremely difficult during these years, he tried to remain in Sudan, going to Cairo to record, and performing in Sudan where opportunities presented themselves.

Barred from radio play and concert hall appearances, this grand artist was reduced to singing at weddings. Finally, in 1995, he decided the situation was untenable, and moved to the United States.

Performing often with the Nile Strings out of the Washington DC area, Al Sigaid performs 40-50 concerts a year for various Sudanese communities in the U.S..
