| M Jayachandran |

 |
Engineer turned music composer M Jayachandran has learnt the art of balancing popular music
with a connoisseur's selection. Jayachandran mesmerised Malayalam film audiences to such an
extent that at one point last year, virtually all the film chart-busters were his composition.
Now, a Kerala state award, a Filmfare award and at least 15 other recognitions later,
Jayachandran does one thing that helped him mature as a musician: Listen to World Music.
That perhaps explains the eclectic sounds, tunes and melodies he creates. His hit numbers include
the foot-tapping racy beats (Pineapple penne, Komalavalli), in novel sounds (Chakkarmavinte kombathirikkana),
sweet melody (Kallayi kadavathe, Chentharmizhi, Manikkuyile) and soulful compositions (Akale, Raakili than,
Innaleyente..)
