Rise of a Legend
Encouraging New Talents
Rahman always welcome’s new talent and happy with fresh vocals. In an industry where Top singers are always been given opportunities rahman walked a path other than this. Singer Unnikrishan once said in an interview that in a time were the legends like K.J Yesudas and S.P Balasubramaniyam ruling the industry as singers, being a playback singer is not even in the dream of many young talents. At that time Rahman made a change to it by giving opportunities to many young talents like me, says Unnikrishnan
He is still eager in catching new talents and he uses different platforms for that. He had taken many initiatives to help unrecognized talents and had made them to explore the world. He uses social media platforms like You tube, Facebook etc. to find the aspiring talents.
Rahman had taken many initiatives to encourage and enables the talents to follow their creative instinct. He had started an institution called KM Music Conservatory (KMMC)
in Chennai for molding new musicians to the world. He along with director Shekar Kapoor launched a social networking platform called ‘Qyuki’ where which the talents can explore
their creativity.
He had introduced many singers like Benny Dayal, Unnikrishnan, Chinmayi Sripada, Naresh Iyer etc. He selects fresh voices most of the time for his songs, just like cherry on pudding may be this can be a reason for the freshness of his songs.
