After singing the 'Pani vizhum malarvanan' song in the 'Meera Ganakuyil contest', i started loving to sing the song so much, that i wanted to record it and make it part of my DEMO album.
Needless to say, this song was a classic from Ilaiyaraja-S.P.B combo for the film 'Ninaivellam Nithya', directed by the legendary C.V.Sridhar. Please listen to the song and give your valuable feedback.

Hi everyone, i feel happy to share the news that i got shortlisted as one among the 12 finalists for 'Meera Gaanakuyil Contest' - a voice hunt for singers to be given an opportunity to sing during 'Meera' Tamil Music Awards 2009.
The finals were held last Monday in Chennai. Singer Srinivas judged the competition. For those din't know this earlier, Srinivas was the composer of the new 'Meera' gingle . He was the one who picked the finalists from over thousands of entries and i'am really happy that i made it to the finals.
The song i sang was 'Pani Vizhum Malarvanam', a ilaiyaraja classic from the film Nivellam Nithya. It was the first time i chose a bit pacy number (though a melody) for a competition. Unfortunately, i din't give my best that day. The winners were Gayathri, Harini, Aishwarya and Rakesh Raghunathan. They sang really well, and i think they really deserved that. Yesterday (Jul 22, 2009) the Tamil Music Awards function was held in Nehru Indoor stadium, and those four winners sang in the function, and the performance was really good. I wish all of them the very best to shine in the music field.
Though i missed a good opportunity to sing in front of such a big music fraternity, it was a really a great experience to be part of the finals, and the whole contest was a good learning experience. I got some good friends as Rakesh Raghunathan, Prasanna Nivas(an upcoming keyboardist), Naveen, Bharath, Rakesh Krishnan... and will take those expriences to make myself a better singer, and advance my music career.
The competition will be telecasted in Isaiaruvi (and kalaignar tv) channel and Hello FM (Frequency : 106.4) .
Hi, I recorded my voice demo album two days back @ Digitrack studio, Nungambakkam. The album contains four songs.
Please listen to them when you find time, and give your feedback.

Hi all, i am happy to share that i participated in the new set of rounds of Rajageetham and the first round was telecast 2 weeks back on Raj TV. I won that episode and am through to the next level. I sang a P.B.Srinivas classic, 'Mouname paarvaiyaal oru vaarthai pesa vendum' from the film Kodi Malar. I do not have a high quality recording of the show to share with you people, but will upload the one i have soon. Will be updating this space about the forthcoming episodes too :-).
PS: Here is the link to one of my performances in Ragamaalika-2005 (male-male duet with Praveen) uploaded by Praveen Vipranarayanan.
A pretty long break from audio blogging since June. This time, with a beautiful song from Vaaranam Aayiram, a good album i heard in recent times despite the heard-it-somewhere niche with many of Harris Jayaraj's songs. This album is simply a masterpiece. Especially, the choice of singers - Hariharan, Karthik, Sudha Raghunathan... really nice. Hariharan's voice still has that magic. 'Nenjukkul Peidhidum Maamazhai...'. Amazing lyrics and an awesome song overall.

Recording a song with karaoke track has always been a arduous task !!! Most of the time i will be spending time finding the right karaoke track for the song, correcting sync mistakes (with track), equalizing voice the track, etc., At times, i've even chosen songs based on the availability of karaoke track for them rather than choosing songs that suit my singing !
This time, i've attempted a song without the -1 track, not trying too much to correct any mistakes and hence with minimal no. of takes :-). Lemme know your valuable comments.

Today is Mother's day. The day that transcends the boundaries of religions and cultures, the day every single species in the world has the right to celebrate. I love my mom so much (as anyone would love his), and wanted to give her on this occasion, a special gift, that is not just of monetary value. And, here it is!
The song 'Ammaa endru azhaikkaadha uryirillayae' from Mannan, a scintillating semi-classical song composed by none other than the Maestro, and sung by K.J.Yesudas. The lyrics were penned by Vaali. The genius of Vaali can be known from these lines in the song
'...Pasum thangam pudhu velli maanikkam manivairam
Avai yaavum oru thaaykku eedaagumaa
Vilai meedhu vilai vaiththuk kaettaalum koduththaalum
Kadai thannil thaayanbu kidaikkaadhammaa...'
Posting a song after nearly 7 months :-).
The song is 'Mudhan mudhalil paarthaen', a beautiful melody from the film Aaha sung by Hariharan, composed by Deva. This is one song that i have always wanted to sing and post in my blog.
Listen to the song at your convenience and leave your valuable comments.
