Ajesh (or Ajeesh) is an Indian singer-turned-composer from Chennai, Tamil Nadu.[1][2]

Early life

Ajesh was born and brought up in Chennai, Tamilnadu, India. His mother happened to find music in him at a very young age and helped him take up Carnatic music lessons. He went on to explore other forms of music later. He did his schooling in Sri Krishnaswamy Matriculation Higher Secondary School, and then got a Visual Communication degree from Loyola College, Chennai.[3]

Career

As a Singer

Ajesh started singing live stage concerts and TV shows at a very young age and was very focused on pursuing music throughout. His appearance on Sun TV's Sapthaswarangal hosted by A.V.Ramanan in 1994 is still on YouTube. Since the age of 12 he has been a part of kids chorus for various composers such as Ilaiyaraaja, A.R.Rahman and Vidyasagar. In 2009, he was crowned the winner of the popular reality based singing competition Airtel Super Singer, chosen by the public through voting and also by composer Yuvan Shankar Raja. Later in 2010, Yuvan made Ajesh sing the famous romantic number Idhu Varai for the soundtrack of the Tamil movie, Goa,[4][5] which was his debut song in films.

As a Composer

In June 2013, he released an independent music album titled, Rain, College, Love - The Connect.[6] He was then asked to compose for movies, but he was 'reluctant at first' he says, because he had no experience in composing background score. Then he started working on short films and documentaries, which gave him a lot of confidence to score for movies. He then debuted as a composer with the Tamil film Paambhu Sattai, which released in March 2017.
