A.R .Rahman

The ‘Mozart of Indian Cinema’, A.R.Rahman is a music composer, record producer, musician and singer; a name even small kids are familiar with. One of the highest paid music composers in India, Rahman has also established his footprint in Hollywood with his beautiful and splendid compositions in movies such as Shekhar Kapur’s ‘Elizabeth: The Second Age’, ‘Inside Man’, ‘Lord of War’, ‘The Accidental Husband’, etc. He became the first Asian to win Golden Globe and two Oscar Awards for his mind-blowing scores in ‘Slumdog Millionaire’.

The Indian DJ’s in New York and London had forecasted long back that this humble man will be receiving overwhelming response and appreciation once he enters Hollywood.

Rahman, who started playing musical instruments at the age of 11, began his film career in 1992 and has now risen as the ‘man who redefined contemporary Indian music’. He holds a graduation in Western Classical music from Trinity College of Music.
