Profile

For a software engineer to shift from Oracle to Protools would be like talking shop in the IT circles. But when it comes to music composition and production it makes a world of difference.
Shankar Mahadevan has made this career jump count. After singing Jingles and Songs in Bollywood and down south he earned his first National Film Award for his song in ‘Kandukondain Kandukondain’ collaborating with A.R.Rahman as a playback singer. But it wasn't until his Debut album titled ‘Breathless’ that he has become a household name.
Shankar Mahadevan
Shankar teamed up with friends Ehsaan and Loy, both remarkably talented composers and musicians to form the most successful musical team in Bollywood popularly known as Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy and from there on he has never looked back.
An old adage ‘Music knows no boundaries’…and Shankar is probably the most appropriate example for this. Not to be limited to any style,category or genre, he has teamed up successfully with some of worlds most extraordinary Talent and has been an integral part of Bands like Remember Shakti ,SILK, Mynta…etc. His works are not bound to the bollywood and fusion realm alone, He has composed and sung in other Indian languages such as Malayaam,Tamil, Telugu and Marath, Gujarati and Punjabi and many more.
Shankar`s dream of many years to share his talent with the world has finally culminated by way of the ‘SHANKAR MAHADEVAN ACADEMY’ an online music academy where anyone willing to learn music is trained by talented teachers under his own watchfull supervision.
What Next? Well for that we suggest you to stay tuned for the latest on Shankar Mahadevan…right here.
