About the artist
A.R. Rahman, born Allah Rakha Rahman in Chennai, India, is one of the most influential film composers in the world, celebrated for reshaping the sound of Indian cinema by blending orchestral arrangements, electronic textures and traditional Indian instrumentation. He rose to international prominence in the 1990s through Tamil and Hindi film scores before crossing over to global audiences with the soundtrack for Slumdog Millionaire, which earned him two Academy Awards and two Grammy Awards.
Rahman's catalogue spans devotional pieces like «Hosanna» and «Maahi Ve», romantic ballads such as «Tere Bina» and «Ay Hairathe», and sweeping orchestral themes for films including Kannathil Muthamittal and Roja. His willingness to fuse Sufi vocals, Carnatic melodies and Western symphonic structures set a new standard for film music across South Asia and influenced a generation of composers.
Beyond cinema, Rahman has collaborated with international artists and produced stage works, earning him the honorific title Mozart of Madras. His work continues to define the sound of Bollywood and Kollywood soundtracks, and he remains one of the few composers to have achieved sustained recognition both within India and on the world stage.
