Biju Narayanan

When Biju Narayanan made an impressive entry into the playback scene with ‘ Pathu Veluppinu’ in 1993, his rich voice drew immediate comparisons with the unmistakable baritone of Yesudas himself. The debutante couldn’t have received a greater compliment of his talent than this similarity.

Biju Narayanan grew up in an atmosphere laden with music, since both his mother & sister were good classical vocalists. He learned his musical alphabets at his mother’s knee and studied the Carnatic musical language in depth under the tutelage of Sankara Warrier and later Aryanad Sadasivan. The first prize he won in the M.G.College Light Music Competition brought him to the notice of the veteran music composer, Raveendran who offered him a break in ‘Venkalam’. Biju, who was still a degree student seized the opportunity with both hands & rose to the occasion ; from then on offers have been pouring in a steady stream, with a dozen of the numbers becoming instant hits : ‘Marivillin’ ( Summer in Bethlahem) , ‘Sooryanayi Thazhuki en Achane’ ( Satyam Sivam Sundaram) & the all time favourite ‘Kalabham Tharam’ (VadakkumNathan).The Tamil, Telugu & Kannada film industries too evinced keen interest in the gifted young man with the golden voice and soon his songs resounded over the whole of the South.

Even before his foray into films he had already made a mark in devotional music. He began by singing tracks for the established singers , but his talent was so obvious he was soon rendering his own devotional songs; he cut his first solo album in 1992 a full year before his induction into film s. He has sung for Hindu, Christian & Muslim albums, the most popular being ‘Archanapoo’, ‘Devageethangal’, ‘Padmatheertham’ etc. He has lent his voice to drama & TV serial songs as well. He won the best Male Singer Singer in the State Drama Awards & the Critic’s Award for the title song in the serial Kayankulam Kochunni . His calendar is crowded
with his stage shows that have seen him circumnavigating the globe many times to the U.S,
U.K , Europe & the Middle East.

Comparison to the icon may have been flattering to the young singer but Biju Narayanan set about honing his own characteristic style so that today , 16 years & 400 songs later his voice has become as distinctive as that of the reigning deity of Malayalam playback singing.

Benny Dayal

The Rising Star, the latest find of Rahman is the voice to watch out for in the music business.

Most of the songs that he has sung seem to reflect his personality to the Tee fun, confident and passionate. Twenty three-year-old Benny Dayal has had the dream start in the music industry that many dream of. His debut was with A.R. Rahman and from then on he has gone on to wield the microphone for the likes of Harris Jayaraj, Vidyasagar and G.V. Prakash.

His first song to hit the airwaves was Maduraikku Pogadhedi, from the film ‘Azhagiya Thamizh Magan’ in which he has also sung Nee Marylin Monroe Cloninga, both of which can get you to shake a leg or two. But it wasn’t just luck, there’s a lot of practice and exposure that earned him the call from Rahman’s studio.

Based in the Gulf, Benny came to Chennai to earn a graduation degree from MCC. That’s when he participated in SS Music channel’s talent hunt contest and became a part of the then-famous S5 band. A few years later, he was also spotted in Vijay TV’s ‘Paadum Office’, a singing competition between professionals working in corporate offices and is a part of a Rock and Roll band called “Rainbow Bridge”.

He has also sung a few ad jingles. And all this with the Tamil he had picked up while in Chennai, and that’s really good going by his songs.”I don’t know how but somehow I must have got noticed and that’s how I got a call from A.R. Rahman’s studio to sing in the chorus”, confesses the singer. From a chorus singer for the song Balleilakka in ‘Sivaji’, he was chosen to lend his voice for his first solo song.

As a newcomer, it must have been quite an experience to sing for A.R.Rahman. “Yes. It was great. He is very sweet and very chilled out. He does not loose his temper and sees work as fun. He makes things easier for the singer as well so that it is a win-win situation for both”, he comments. “In the song Maduraikku Pogadhedi, the female chorus singers accidentally laughed during the recording and Rahman thought that sounded nice and used it instead of a line in the song”, recounts Benny reflecting on Rahman’s adaptable and spontaneous working style.

Love of music

You needn’t be a psycho-analyst to find out how passionate Benny is about music and singing when he says “I have no expectations. I just want to be recognized and make people happy with my songs. Music to me is the food of life. I live to sing”. He has been learning Carnatic music for 14 years and is also learning Hindustani now. “I try to be versatile and am always ready for the worst. For instance, if they want me to sing like a person who can’t sing then I have to know how to do just that. “On stage, he is his usual fun-self. “I enjoy singing and that’s shown on the stage as well. When we perform on stage we need to be more interactive”, he feels.

Benny is making a splash in Bollywood as well with his songs Pappu cant dance and Nazrein Milana from the film ‘Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na’. He attributes his success to his parents, brother and his friends – Akhil, Arindam, Eben, Sandeep and Christopher. But success hasn’t changed him one bit, he assures. “I don’t let success get into my head. So when I don’t change, people around me don’t change as well.” Rest assured.
