KM is the first Indian Composer to be selected as BAFTA `[`British Academy of Film & Television Arts`]` BREAKTHROUGH HONOREE (2021). Prior to this honor, he has won awards for his score in International Film Festivals. His career started with the song he composed (2005) while on a bike ride, for his friend. The song eventually played an important part in making his band MADRAS TUNES a winner in a band hunt show judged by Academy award winner A.R.Rahman. Trained in Carnatic Classical ( by Mr. (Chengalpet) Renganathan, Mrs. DKJ. Sukanya & Mrs. Premalatha for more than 12 years) and Thamizh Folk, his melody line has strong influences from these 2 genres with additional influences from Santali, Raaz, Sufi, Bhajan and Rajasthani folk music. He was trained in Western Classical Music (Piano & Theory by Mr. Abdul Sattar) under Trinity College of Music certification. Later he did Advanced Film and Television score certification from Berklee College of Music. KM’s arrangements have wide influences of genres like Western Classical, Waltz, Tango, Rock, Pop, Electronic & Dubstep. What makes his music unique is defined by his suave infusing different genres to capture the emotional subtlety and complexity of a given situation. To know more view: karthikeyamurthy.com
