I think it is a very good sign to hear fresh and New voices in Tamil Songs, especially when Tamil Cinema is making a move towards giving a break to new faces. The new singers are all good and their voices have a youth appeal. What do my friends have to say about this? May I know?

Devan Ekambaram - Playback Singer

O Maria O Maria for the Tamil movie Kadhalar Dinam.

Devan's foray into the Tamil music scene was incidental. Though O Maria O Maria might have been his launch-pad into the film world, Ore Nyabagam from Minnale brought him fame. Later he was approached by the Music Maestro Ilayaraja for the movie Time. Devan was thrilled to work with him. Then came Smayiyai from Kandukondain Kandukondain which was a hit. Recent Hit, May Madha megham from Shahjahan. Till today Devan has sung for 80 films in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi and Kannada with 90 songs under his belt. He also has handled Rahman's concerts abroad.

Still swinging to "Dhind Dhind Tara"?
Sriram Parthasarathy - vocalist, veena-ist, Harmonium-ist, just about everything musical.
