Quote:
I’M INSPIRED! There are two musicians who’ve motivated and inspired me — A R Rahman and Ilaiyaraaja. In the two years that I spent with Rahman, I did almost 15 films including Sillunu Oru Kadhal, Guru, Jodhaa Akbar and Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na (JTYJN). In fact, I’ve also sung for Pappu can’t dance… and Nazrein milana... in JTYJN. Rahman’s my mentor. He taught me not just the nuances of composing, but also ways to boost one’s self-confidence. And Ilaiyaraaja sir, according to me, is THE ideal composer. You just can’t replace a note from his composition with another; he’s that perfect, a true Mozart.
