Maangalyam Bangalore Days malayalam movie

 This is a mashup of an old Ouseppachan number from the 1990's that feat., A.R. Rahman﻿. The lifeline of this number, Vijay Venkatesh Kannan﻿, is probably one of the most talented flautists/musicians I have had a chance to work with in a long long time. I believe this is his first collaborative video that's being published. Thanks Vijay for all your hard work, you are such a great musician to work with! 

And, this goes out to George﻿, who requested this song of me way back in 2009. Hope you all enjoy the alternate take, and do feel free to share it if you like it enough!

Hari, Shwe and I met at my studio a year ago and decided we'd jam something. Hari sang Pakkala Nilabadi composed by St Thyagaraja and I played the keys. Shwe was our audience cum recordist cum motivator. We had total fun that day. Audio captured on a single mic in addition to my keyboard's line.

A Contemporary violin adaptation of Brovabarama(Thyagaraja krithi)

I have played different styles of music from traditional carnatic to film-pop. However something that I've always leaned towards is to explore the idea of propping up our beautiful classical music against various genres like pop, rock, jazz etc. So here is a song from my outfit Karthick Iyer Live. We have played Thyagaraja's krithi Brovabarama in the raga Bahudari

Do share! :) 

Covers music got a lively twist with the entrance of Karthick Iyer Live. Karthick Iyer who has played with bands and in festivals spanning almost all the continents in the world, has contemporized the existing format to suit the ever changing needs of the audiences. His concerts are known to touch every single person in the crowd, from old to new and from the laymen to the learned. He spices up his concerts with medleys of English, Tamil and Carnatic songs rolled into one. Dressed in a dazzling Moghul costume, holding a blue electric violin and armed with a compelling selection of Tamil, Hindi, English and Carnatic songs, Karthick is ready to cast a spell!

Tere Bina Din Mere -Feroz khan

The song that's playing is an acoustic version of the traditional lullaby "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" 

Lyrics:

Twinkle twinkle little star, How I wonder what you are,
Up above the world so high, Like a diamond in the sky,
Twinkle twinkle little star, How I wonder what you are.

 

When the blazing sun is gone, When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light, Twinkle twinkle through the night,
Twinkle twinkle little star, How I wonder what you are.

Then the traveller in the dark, Thanks you for your tiny spark,
He couldn’t see which way to go, If you didn’t twinkle so,
Twinkle twinkle little star, How I wonder what you are.

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

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.
