OCTOBER 2016
portance to the caliber of the concert . So it ’ s amazing to be a part of the NAIT tour and the Nenjae yezhu tour this year .
Other than Tamil I have worked in all the South Indian Languages Malayalam , Kannada , and Telugu . In Malayalam , I have sung quietly a number of songs in such great movies and I won the film fare award for Bangalore Days . This music was by Gopi sunder and he is giving totally an amazing set of songs in the set of albums in Malayalam . He is ruling the charts right now . Other than that I have worked in Telugu for Thaman , DSP garu , lot of biggies in Telugu and in Kannada for Arjun Janya . It ’ s a constant process of traveling to their cities and recording for them or recording here in Chennai for them . A lot of sessions happens through Skype nowadays . So I think it ’ s a great leap . It connects a lot of artist around the world . A lot of recording happens because suddenly they are not able to fly down to Chennai and they have the deadline and I might not be able to fly out . So I just book a studio where we have a common Skype call going and he listens to every take I record and he will review it there . There are some advanced options like neve board where them composer totally gets the wave directly when it gets recorded and he can review it as soon as possible . Great technology makes everything so easy . Mostly I record most of my songs in my friend , alap ’ s studio . Alap Raju has a studio called Voice and vision in Kodambakkam . Other than that , there is a studio in the crimson avenue in nelson manickam road and 20 DB Studio in Saligramam with such amazing standards in them . I have not recorded much in Bombay . I am yet to make my introduction to a lot of people in Mumbai . I have performed in Tamasha for Mr . Rahman and it ’ s my first ever Hindi song . It is a duet with Sukundhar Ji and Hari Priya from Chennai . In Telugu , I have recorded a lot for Miki mayor .
I might have left out a lot of names but they are all such great musicians . Yuvan is such a great composer . He is so cool and he is reinventing himself . He has his own sound . There was a song , which I performed for him in Paiyaa . That song in 2011 had a record . It was the most broadcasted song ever on radio and in TV put together . Ergo , I am so happy and Thankful for that .
