My first proper music video, (Link to Video : http://youtu.be/QPT3uup_pOU), I have had the amazing opportunity to work with the Nightingale of California, Meera Manohar in a re-arragment of the song by Ouseppachan, Andhi Maalai.


The tune of the song is heavily derived from the famous kriti of Saint Thyagaraja, 'Endaro Mahanubhavulu'. Meera and I both love this Thyagaraja swamy krithi and so decided that as our first project, we will do a re-arrangement of the Andhi Maalai song. :-D

The original album was released under A R Rahman's name although he had played only as a keyboardist*. The vocals were by S Janaki in the original version with lyrics by Vairamuthu

Song Lyrics:

Pallavi:

KanmaniyE kAviyamE
Kann variantha oviyamE

Perazhagu dEvadayE
Arputhathil pEr arputhamE

Unnai urukiyE ennai Eendreduthaalakki
Athil neE magizhchi kandAi perumayum kondAi

Stanza:
En than thevaigal, athai muzhuthum nee arivai
En than mounangal, athin arthangal nee purivAi 
Anbin mozhi mattum pEsum unakku veru mozhigal theriyathu
ThAyainum mElAna deivam ulagilE vEronru kidayathu.

Ithu varai neE seitha thyAgangal pothume
Ini nee endan sEye naan undan thaaye

KanmaniyE kAviyamE

aariraaro oraariroo

mhmmmm.....

English translation:

Pallavi:

Apple of my eye, a true masterpiece (metaphorical)
A stunning painting par excellence (metaphorical)
An angel so immensely beautiful
You are nothing short of a miracle

From my birth, you have endured a lot of pain, all the way
But radiated only happiness and pride every single day

Stanza:

My needs and desires, you know too well
My silent moments, you understand them all
You speak only the language of love, none other
There is no angel greater than you, O Mother!

Enough of all the sacrifices you have made for me so far
It is now my turn to be your mother, O my dear! (Implied)

Apple of my eye, a true masterpiece (metaphorical)
sleep my dear, sleep my dear...

Carnatic Classical Fusion (Orajupu) - Aathirai Sivapalan

My first Telugu song. Rendered for the film Village lo Vinayakudu for Manikanth kadri

Muddugaare - Village lo Vinayakudu

12 Muthai Tharu -Srinivas & Nithyashree

Navneeth was born in Trichy and brought up in Tuticorin and Chennai. The first signs of his musical prowess began to show up as early as when he was 6 years of age, when his parents discovered that he could play the jingle melodies he heard on TV, on button-based musical toys, all by himself. At the age of 8, he was mentored by Mr. Selvaraj Kumar, a keyboard player and music troupe leader from Tuticorin who honed his musical skills and got him on stage for the first time at around 9 years of age. Soon, he inducted him into his own troupe which kick-started his career as a performer.

Navneeth's moving to Chennai at 16, led to him forming a band called Trinity with his college friends that won many inter-college music competitions. He also started freelancing, playing fusion music, eventually performing with many leading classical and fusion musicians like Padmavibhushan Dr. M. Balamuralikrishna, Kalaimamani Rajhesh Vaidhya, Oscar nominee Bombay Jayshree, Drums Sivamani, Tabla maestro Bikram Ghosh, Selvaganesh, Ghatam Umashankar, Sarod Maestros Ayaan and Aman Ali Khan and many others in India and abroad. In 2004, thiru Vaigai Gnanaskandan awarded him the title of "Sangeetha Bhaskara" at Narada Gana Sabha, Chennai, for his excellence in Classical Carnatic music.

Soon, Navneeth started composing and writing for TV promos, corporate anthems, jingles and his own songs. While at the same time his progress as a performer grew from strength to strength. With TV reality shows such as Airtel Super Singer, Hariyudan Naan and many others becoming popular, Navneeth started featuring in those shows as guest performer.

Today Navneeth is an upcoming film music director and a prominent composer in the independent music scene. His first Malayalam film "Buddy" released in 2013 and is a multistarrer with Anoop Menon, Balachandra Menon, Asha Sharath, Bhumika Chawla and many others. He has also collaborated with other musicians and singers to compose tracks, the most popular ones being "Chandrachooda" for the film Karmayogi with Anoop Sankar, "Chinnanchiru Kiliye cover" with Shweta Mohan and "Dhik Dhik" with Vandana Srinivasan.

Navneeth also hold the unique distinction of being the first musician in the world to have performed Carnatic music on the iPad, which he achieved through his performance video of Lalgudi Jayaraman's Desh thillaana composition. The video was shared by Mr. A. R. Rahman, the world's most popular Indian composer and the video became viral henceforth.

Navneeth now has an independent band, named "Navneeth Sundar Ensemble" which focusses on independent music and also  covers of famous songs, rearranged by Navneeth. The band was featured on the television show "Music Mojo" of Kappa TV, where they performed Navneeth's original compositions which have become a hit on social media.
