  With some of the hottest numbers in Tamil in the recent past, from Baba, Laysa Laysa, Run, Five Star and many others, T K Karthik sang his first Hindi song, again for A R Rahman, the song, Shora So Pahchaniye in The Legend of Bhagat Singh. His recent song, a Hindi duet with Asha Bhonsle, a song called Chori Pe Chori (September Madham, which, Shankar Mahadevan sang in Tamil) in Saathiya, (The Hindi remake of Mani Rathnam's Alai Payuthey) is a super hit. The MCA kid-cum-playback singer, Karthik, is the latest hit with Tamil filmdom's music directors. Karthik comes from a family of bathroom singers.
  
  When in college, he arranged to meet singer Srinivas, who happens to be his best friend's cousin. "To me, he was big. I am a fan of A R Rahman and Srinivas was his singer. He asked me to sing and liked what he heard". Srinivas eventually turned out to be Karthik's link to Rahman, he says.
  
  He remembers the dates well. "It was December 17, 1999. Until then, I had never stepped out of home after 8 pm. But that night, my friends and I had planned a midnight birthday party for a friend. It turned out that Rahman wanted me to sing a number that night, and Srinivas kept calling home. It was about 11-45 pm. My parents couldn't reach me. Srinivas finally told them that if I was lucky, I would call him in 10 minutes. Otherwise... Somehow, I got in touch with home and called him immediately. It was past midnight on December 18''. He was just in time in Rahman's studio for the recording.
  
  "Rahman was like my demi-God, and there he was... in front of me. I was nervous but Rahman helped me, cracking jokes and all. He is a lot of fun when you know him personally". He had been called for a chorus track for Pukar, which somehow was not released. It's a good sentiment, isn't it.
  
  "From then till about two years, I was doing only choruses for Rahman. It got me very popular in college. On January 31, 2001, Rahman asked me and others in the group to sing an Aalap. Next day, he called me to record for Nendikitten from Star". It was his first solo. Apart from A R Rahman, T K Karthik has done tracks for Ilayaraja, Harris Jayaraj, Karthik Raja, Yuvan Shankar Raja, Bharadwaj, Vidhyasagar, Deva, Mani Sharma, Keeravani and others. Most often though, he's not told which movie or actor he is singing for. "But when I was singing for Baba, I knew I was singing for Rajinikanth and was very conscious. I had to get it right".

  If you ask T K Karthik what the best part about being a playback singer is, he will talk about the countries he got to see...not the 40-odd film songs he has sung covering Tamil, Telugu, Hindi and Kannada movies or the bunch of numbers under his favourite music director A R Rahman. Tuning into Karthik is not very difficult. He is the boy next door, 22, once a part of a college band, who gradually shifted from college auditorium to Rahman's studio as a chorus member.
  
  "I just had one recording a month in the whole of 2000", he recalls. But lots of stories to tell his friends after the experience. For this DG Vaishnav College student, things started changing after he met singer Srinivas. "I used to keep in touch with him and he used to give me a lot of pointers", says Karthik. He took the tips seriously and it wasn't long before Srinivas put him onto Rahman.
  
  But when Karthik sang Nendikitten in Star, he didn't know what was happening. "I was singing the track and had no clue if Rahman would use my voice", he says. Rahman finally clued him in and Karthik's solo singing career took off. Karthik insists life has always been like that for him - unplanned. He learned Carnatic music for a year and then discontinued. Then he joined ghazal classes. Now, it is Hindustani classical music for him, his teacher being noted singer Sriram Parasuram. "I was always passionate about Hindustani music", he says. So after 13 years Karthik is learning what he always wanted to. "I was raw when when I started", he recalls. "My Carnatic training taught me the fundamentals, singing ghazals helped with voice culture and Hindustani has widened my pitch and outlook. I think it is never too late to learn". And all through his parents (absolute music lovers) gave him all the support they could. "They have no clue how a recording happens. They just see me go out to record and come back with money", he says. He also sang in Srinivas's Ussele Ussele album, produced by Rajiv Menon.
  
  In between the studios and stage shows, Karthik says, he managed to complete his B Com and is now hoping to finish a Master's at the University of Madras. Like he said, it's never too late to learn.
