Devan Ekambaram burst into the South Indian film music scene just one year back. Even without formal training in music, he sounds very good and extremely confident in his albums. His spirited and spontaneous rendition of "O Maria" in Kaadalar Dinam, the same song in its Telugu version and in the Hindi version with Remo Fernandez in Dil Hi Dil Mein, all composed by AR Rahman, has made Devans voice very popular. Once again, Shaka lakka Baby from Mudalvan sung along with Vasundara Das and Smye iye iye in Rajiv Menons film Kandu Konden , Kandu Konden have done wonders for his career.

Devan is also a composer. He can play several musical instruments and music is his lifeline now. He is hardworking and focussed and knows exactly how he wishes his career to shape. In fact, his musical sojourn has just begun and for this talented twenty-three year old, the sky is the limit. Born and brought up in the US, Chennai is new to him. But he has found his foothold remarkably

well.
