About Dr Pasupathi is a Malaysian medical practitioner who is passionate about international Indian/Tamil music. His musical ventures started off in his teens when he was involved as a DJ in various clubs in Kuala Lumpur. While excelling academically, he managed to juggle between weekly gigs and studies where he gained interest for composing.
The initial compositions were of hip hop genre for an underground group named Junior Hussle. Inspired by Michael Jackson, AR Rahman, Ilayaraja and Harris Jayaraj, the diversity of Indian cinema music and the increasing fusion of Western musical elements began to fascinate Dr Pasupathi. Since then, he began to compose music with Indian influences while infusing the Western elements to come up with music that can identify himself uniquely.
While pursuing his medical degree in one of Malaysia’s top universities, his passion for music did not falter. He was the keyboardist for his college band and lead the band to become the champion in one of the university’s battle of the bands. This success paved the way for the band to perform in various events and was featured in national television. However, the increasing study times as clinical students slowed down the band’s activities as all the members were medical students.
Upon graduation, Dr Pasupathi underwent housemanship in one of Malaysia’s busiest general hospital and subsequently served in the government hospitals before joining a private group practice in 2008. A couple of years following that, he began to put together some of his compositions to come up with fourteen songs for which various lyricists were roped in to provide ‘soul’ for the melodies. Numerous singers, both locally and internationally, were auditioned. Good opportunity came when top South Indian singers were able to provide ‘wings’ for the songs. By the end of 2013, ten songs out of the fourteen were selected and the album Reenggaram, meaning tune that keeps repeating in ears, was born.
