Today is the 38th birthday of popular music director Yuvan Shankar Raja.

Yuvan made his debut as a music director with the film 'Aravindan' that released in 1997. So this is the 20th year of Yuvan in film industry as a music director. In the two decades of journey, Yuvan has scored music for more than 100 films and given more than 700 songs and most of them have been super hits. Yuvan's hit songs cover variosu genres of music such as western, Hindustani, Carnatic, folk, melody and Kuthu songs. Yuvan is also the pioneer of the concept called Theme music in Tamil cinema, which is now a regular in almost all Tamil films.

Apart from songs Yuvan's specialty is his expertise in providing apt and impactful BGM score for the films. Even a very ordinary film will look great due to his re-recording.

Apart from his achievements as a music director Yuvan has also made a great impression as a play-back singer. He is one of the few music directors who has sung under the music for his father Isaignani Ilaiyaraja and Isaipuyal A.R.Rahman and also the younger generation music directors such as G.V.Prakash Kumar and Thaman.

Even in his 20th year as the music director Yuvan's music sounds as fresh as a newcomer's music and he competes with a lot of next generation composers who have emerged after 2010. The films/songs released this year such as 'Yakkai', 'Nenjam Marappathillai' and 'Taramani' to name a few prove the freshness in his music.

And as always Yuvan is the busiest music composer in Kollywood today and that proves he remains the most sought after even after the advent of so many younger composers and many of them have carved a niche for themselves. Yuvan's upcoming films include director Ram's 'Peranbu', Atharvaa's 'Semma Botha Aagatha', Vishal's 'Irumbu Thriai' and 'Sandakozhi 2', Ameer's 'Santhana Devan', Jai's 'Balloon', Thiagarajan Kumararaja's yet to be titled film, Selvaraghavan's 'Mannavan Vanthanadi', and STR's 'Kettavan Kettidil Kittidum Rajayogam'.

IndiaGlitz wishes a Happy Birthday to the Isai Ilaval of Isaingani and we wish him for a lot more super hit albums and awards in his career.
