I've done eight grades of piano training from Trinity College and also done my sound engineering course.

The inspiration for 'Ai Dil Mere' happened at 4:30 A.M. on a Sunday.
I am basically a chilled out person.
I did sing a track for Dhanush's '3,' but that's because the track required a voice like mine.
I've always wanted to make music for films.
Whatever I can do to the best of my abilities is what I am trying to do.
#MeToo is a welcome change, and I would encourage women to call out sexual harassment issues in their workplaces.
You have to keep proving yourself over and over again.
I make music from my heart and will continue to do so.
I'm shy by nature, not just around girls but guys as well.
The night we released 'Why This Kolaveri Di?,' I went home and played all the songs I had composed since I was in Class 6. I had a great time playing them and revisiting how much I had grown and evolved over the years as a musician.
When 'Bayatikocchi Chooste' Teaser became such a big hit, I was so happy.
I would love to work in Bollywood.
I can never recreate the magic that 'Indian' did in the '90s.
'Indian' is a cult album. It is one of my most favourite Rahman sir albums.
'Kolaveri' is one song that people feel connected to. While I am bored of the song, it seems people aren't. I really can't say what worked. But I can definitely say that the song made me what I am today.
In personal life, I'm quite a shy person and keep things to myself.
I've never flirted with a fan.
If you compose a song from your soul, it will come out well.
I love collaborations, as every combination provides a unique opportunity to create something new.
When I'm working, I don't think about other things. I go into a zone.
Songs, for me, are very personal.
From my childhood, I never wanted to do anything else but create music. From my first piano to setting up my studio, all I ever wanted was to give it all my time.
Every song becomes an emotional journey for me, and only then will the soul of the song remain honest.
I am so happy about the opportunity I got to direct music for my favourite actor, Rajinikanth.
A musician's true talent is only tested through background music.
'3' is a wonderful film.
I make it a point to make a new song every day.
It's good to see your songs breaking the barriers of language.
Music has no language. That's something I've come to believe in even more ever since 'Kolaveri Di' happened. I don't deliberately make separate Tamil, Hindi, or Telugu tracks.
I am not a very good singer.
No, I don't want to act.
I've been a musician since my childhood.
As for singers, I'm fond of Mohit Chauhan.
In the case of '3,' the makers let me be. That worked out really well.
I was told that the 'Kolaveri' kind of success happens just once in a lifetime. So, I just cherish it.
