His father, Mr. Rajagopala Kulashekhara Mudaliyar Shekhar was a renowned Tamil Indian Music Composer from an affluent Mudaliar Tamil family and so was Rahman. A.R.Rahman lost his beloved father when he was just 9. His mother, Kareema (previously known as Kashturi) raised his son with a lot of love and care. To keep the flow of income, he rented out his fathers musical equipment. During his early days, Rahman learned to play the keyboard and not only that, he also worked as an arranger in the band “Roots”. Along with him was his childhood friend who was also a percussionist, now a well known musician, Sivamani. Along with these 2, there were also a couple of friends John Anthony, Suresh Peters, JoJo and Raja. Doing well in the field of music, Rahman started was the founder of “Nemesis Avenue”, a Chennai based Rock-Band. And to the delight everyone he not only played the keyboard but also the synthesizer, harmonium and the guitar. Gradually after the success of the band, he gained a keen interest in the equipment synthesizer. Not over looking this, he started his early music training with Master Dhanraj. |
