Prodigious debut - An article from INDIA TODAY- 1994 about A.R.Rahman's first release

Image
When 26-year-old A.R. Rahman says, "cool scene man", the Tamil film industry stops to listen. After all, the youngest music director to hit the Tamil screen has made history recently with the record breaking audio cassette sales of his debut film, Roja , with over two lakh tapes sold in Tamil alone. Though he has only five films to his name, two of which are still unreleased, Rahman's name sells. He was paid R s. 7 lakh for his last film, while Ilayaraja, the brilliant composer for 500 films, gets only R s. 3 lakh more. Today, any Rahman composition is expected to sell one and a half lakh tapes. Ghanshyam Hemdev, the head of Pyramid Audios, calls him "the phenomenon that changed the face of the industry". Rahman has come a long way since the days he played with rock bands in Madras. Sitting in his room filled with R s. 1 crore worth of computerised gadgetry, he has created a new synthesised sound which makes even Ilayaraja's folk-cl

His long-standing, fruitful association with the doyen of Tamil film music Ilaiyaraja had come to an end when the latter reportedly made some disdainful comments during the making of Manirathnam’s ‘Dhalapathi’. One day, at an awards function for excellence in the field of advertising, Manirathnam chanced upon Dileep, who received the award for the best ad jingle, which he had composed for the popular Leo Coffee ad. At the celebrations party that followed the awards presentation ceremony, Manirathnam was introduced to the young composer by his cousin Sharada Trilok of Trish Productions. Rahman had produced some outstanding work for Trish Productions. She (Sharada Trilok) had words of praise for the young composer. Man

5 things to learn from A.R.Rahman

Today, A.R.Rahman is a name known world over, thanks to Slumdog Millionaire and the awards and nominations its bagged. Like everyone here in India, I have known him and his music right from the time Roja was released in 1992.. thats a good 17 years. Everyone speaks of his music, and what he eats, sleeps, drinks and what he does when he is free and so on so forth.

With so many many people who speak so high of him at all times, there are some things that are unsaid and certain things that we so easily ignore about Rahman, that makes him stand apart from the clutter. The musical genius that Rahman is, most of that comes from his being and principles. Rahman’s success presents some valuable tips every person can apply to his professional life in an effort to help him achieve his goals. And on that note, with the little that I know of him, I would share some
