AR Rahman, who has captivated millions with his alluring music and restrained voice, has a magical aura about him. He is the perfect example of a man who came, saw and conquered hearts in a jiffy, what with his soul-stirring voice and foot-tapping numbers.
Success has not changed Rahman the person so much so that he still attributes all that he has got to the Almighty. His feet are firmly planted on the ground, despite receiving accolades at an international level.
The recognition that Rahman received has taken Tamil film music up several levels, for there was a time when Tamil film music was known and listened to by Tamilians alone. Rahman, soon after his success which broke new grounds in contemporary film music, went on to Bollywood and then, as everyone knows, there was no looking back.
Music is vocation to some and avocation to many. For AR Rahman, it is not just an occupation. It is his passion and obsession. He thrives and lives on music. Music is, to be precise, a divine force and the guiding spirit for Rahman.
We at MusicMazaa are proud of Rahman and as we wish him a very happy birthday, we also wish that he wins the coveted Oscar. We are sure that he will continue to do us proud!
