Excerpt:
"He is considered India's most respected musicians. He has been credited with giving Indian film music a global, a more original, more unique sound. He is also one of the highest selling artists in the world, having sold more than 50 million albums in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi and English. He has also made a very successful crossover to the West, while his roots, his first love, continues to be Indian music. He is A R Rahman."

The first time I lsitened to "Roja" was when I was a school kid. I was travelling in my friends car when this music was playing. I dint know that it was Rahman's composition at that time but this song.. "Pudhu Vellai Mazhai"..; this song was JUST AWESOME.... I took to Rahman like a fish to the water right away !!!

That day on, I have been an avid fan of Rahman. (Though have not listened to much of Rahman's Hindi movies cause they usually turn out to be re-makes of tamil tunes and remakes dont have the same effect as the original ones)
