About the artist
Anirudh Ravichander is an Indian film composer, singer and lyricist who works primarily in Tamil cinema, and has also scored music for Telugu and Hindi films. Born in Chennai, he grew up around music-industry connections that shaped his early interest in composing, and he made his professional debut scoring the 2012 Tamil film «3», directed by Aishwarya R. Dhanush. The film's song «Why This Kolaveri Di» became a viral sensation across India and internationally, notable for its Tanglish lyrics and raw, quickly produced sound, and it helped establish Anirudh as a fresh voice in Kollywood film music.
Since that breakout, Anirudh has become one of the most sought-after composers in South Indian cinema, working repeatedly with major stars such as Dhanush and directors across the Tamil industry. His sound blends catchy pop hooks, electronic production and dance-club energy with folk and traditional South Indian melodic elements, often anchored by his own distinctive vocal delivery on lead singles. Tracks like «Kannazhaga», «Arabic Kuthu» and «Pakkam Vanthu» showcase his range from romantic ballads to high-energy mass anthems.
Beyond soundtrack composition, Anirudh frequently performs as a singer on his own compositions and has released standalone singles outside of film contexts, expanding his profile as both a producer and performer. His work has made him a defining figure in contemporary Tamil film music, shaping the sound of a generation of Kollywood soundtracks through relentless hitmaking and genre-crossing collaborations.
