G.V Prakash is far better than DSP... both quality as well as commercial success...also, DSP has NOT composed many melodies but only peppy songs...

Devi Sri Prasad is upbeat. As “Singam” rocks the box office, the music composer talks about his passion-turned-profession.

Devi Sri Prasad is smiling from ear to ear. The musician, who is back after a frenzied round of theatre-hopping to gauge the audience pulse at the “Singam” shows, breaks into song. “Stole My Heart…tran tran tran…” he mock-strums ecstatically.

The number is one of Devi a.k.a DSP's current favourites from a spice-spangled oeuvre that covers 40 films in Telugu, Tamil and Kannada. At his tech-tuned studio on the backstreets of Vadapalani, the buoyant musician, famous for some recent sonic adventures, is living out his dream. And guess what, a larger-than-life portrait of the maestro he respects most — Ilayaraja — in his trademark pensive mood, watches over the proceedings!

For someone who did his school homework listening to “Ilayaraja's plaintive ‘Solai pushpangalae en sogam kaelungalae…' from a tiny transistor, and grew up on a steady diet of Michael Jackson's head bobbing beats, Devi says he's lucky because his passion is his profession. “It's like a beautiful paid holiday! I'm having fun composing tunes. To be a composer, you have to be a die-hard music lover — which I am.”

He breaks into another song — “Excuse Me Mr. Kanthasamy” — this time with a mock keyboard, to explain that it isn't easy to compose songs for commercial films. “Any song has to be catchy. People think class films are tough and mass films come easy. But that's not true. Not many know I'm a disciple of Mandolin U. Shrinivas. The Prabhu Deva-directed ‘Pournami' has many songs with classical influences. The biggest test is to bring freshness to any proven format.”

In the same vein, the composer whose cheeriness is so much in tune with his sunshine tracks such as ‘Adada Adada Adada' (“Santhosh Subramaniam”) and ‘Daddy Mummy Veetil Illa' (“Villu”), says, “I believe in breaking rules. You can succeed even without breaking rules. But only if you look beyond preset notions, you can get to the next level. Look at Mani Ratnam or Ram Gopal Varma. They are not judged by their latest hit or flop. They will always be respected because they paved new paths. I'm inspired by such people. I'm trying too — in my own way to be individualistic, even while alchemising varied influences — from folk and kuthu to pop and hip-hop.”

Creative freedom

Talk about directors he's worked with and the creative freedom he enjoys, and Devi says, “It's the director who holds the key to the success of a film. To begin with, he is the source of my inspiration for any score. Thankfully, whether it is Susi Ganesan (‘Kanthasamy'), Hari (‘Aaru', ‘Singam') or K.S. Ravi Kumar (RR for ‘Dasavatharam'), I've enjoyed freedom. And music happens in a very casual atmosphere — in the course of a conversation. Or over a cup of coffee. Filmmaking is based on trust between many creative people. I'm conscious of the fact that a good film can become a super hit if the music strikes a chord with the audience and that even a fantastic score cannot save a poorly made film!”

Born in Andhra Pradesh and bred in Tamil Nadu, Devi undoubtedly has an edge. The musician who made his debut at the age of 17 with the Telugu runaway success “Devi” (don't miss the happy coincidence), and didn't have to hit the pause button since, says, “I'm totally clued in when it comes to Tamil and Telugu films. I can even write lyrics in Tamil! Knowing the languages and understanding local sensibilities are a big advantage because music is an important form of expression. From my school days at Venkata Subba Rao in T. Nagar, I've participated in culturals and straddled many passions — music, dance and photography.”

Devi is hopeful of cutting a non-film disc too. “I feel sad when I go back in time to the days of good old desi pop. Channels and music companies that once promoted the genre are today out of business. In my teens, I did ‘Dance Party' and ‘Mr. Devi'. Non-film albums are a great avenue for music aspirants. Not all wanting to get into films realise their dreams.”

With a clutch of big banners in Telugu and Tamil (upcoming works of K.S. Ravikumar-Kamal Haasan, Bhoopathy Pandiyan-Vikram and Hari), there's a lot to sing about on Devi's career front. “The past few years have been a whirl. It's a capricious industry. So you feel mighty responsible about the work you take on. But despite the frenetic schedules and cancelled vacation plans, I don't feel I've missed anything. Because I'm composing music not by force, but by choice,” he smiles and returns to mock strumming — this time it's throaty Baba Sehgal's ‘Kadhal Vandhale' from “Singam”.

Default Music of Devi Sri Prasad
[html:28fc64cfff]

[/html:28fc64cfff]

Devi Sri Prasad (born 2 August 1979) was born in Vedurupaka and later moved to Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. His father was a school teacher and a writer. He completed his schooling at Sir M. Venkata Subba Rao Boys High School, T. Nagar, Chennai. He won several prizes in the culturals organised at inter-school level for both dance and singing competitions.

His debut music album Dance Party, along with S. P. B. Charan and a few more debutants at the time, was the kick start of his music career. He began his musical-direction career in 1999 in the Telugu film Devi. Devi Sri Prasad was a disciple of the renowned mandolinist, U. Srinivas, and he has directed music for dozens of South Indian films, including several box-office successes.

Devi Sri Prasad is known to be a big fan of Ilaiyaraaja. He has a younger brother named Sagar who is also a playback singer.

Mr Raajarasigan,

Avar makkal kitta reach aanaro illayo aana avar padagal makkal kitta nalla reach aagiruku. So avaruku oru thread start pannurathula onnu nama koranjira matom. I disagree at least in tamil films... he has NOT composed a single ever green song till now, IMO... ella padathuleyum ore beat (Himesh maadhiri)....innum mothama patthu padam kooda podala... aana athukkulle paattu engeyo kaetta feeling...

take singam for e.g. kaadhal vandhaale starts very similar to vaada maapillai (villu).. in fact, the whole tune of the first line.... in charanam also, he used the same tune as in kattu kattu keerai kattu.... BGM kooda onnum solra alavukku ethuleyum illa... can't recollect any theme / BGM in any of his movies....

Might I add few more tamil movies by DSP:

Ice (2002)
Mazhai (2005)
Maayavi (2005)
Kutty (2010)

Kadavul Thantha from Mayavi is a very popular song, and was often played on Tamil channels. IMO DSP deserves separate thread for composing beautiful melodies and peppy songs.

Even GV.Prakash has his own thread in hub so why shouldnt DSP?

He sticks to a template and does not want to come out of it, that for me is his biggest drawback.

IMO GVP proved nothing so far, he is a one hit wonder (Veyil). GVP has become a guarantee for a movie will flop. The sole reason why GVP is in the cinefield is because his uncle is world wide famous.

this is too harsh on GVP!! Oram Po, AO, Polladhavan, Angadi Theru -- most of the songs of these movies are chart busters...

GVP - like Chinmayee's real voice, his 'real' style still eludes me. Still not able to form even an opinion on him.

I can't relate that the same person who scored polladhavan scored Veyyil or AO. is Angadi theru by GVP? That just adds to the confusion. What is his real voice?
(I dont want to orient this as a compliment - even Rahman, Raja are versatile but underlying the different styles that they exhibhit, there is an unifying factor, a stamp of theirs. A Rahman fan never mistakes a HJ song for Rahman, and as I'd reply to all people who attribute MMKV or VSN or Deva or S-G songs to IR, no true IR fan will mistake any of those songs for IR as IR's stamp is unmistakable. GVP's versatility doesnt seem to be of the same type to me)
