Devan Ekambaram is a happy man these days. For the purpose for which he came to Chennai all the way from the United States has been fulfilled now, as the singer has turned a music composer with ‘Bale Pandiya’.

“I always wanted to become a music director. But I ended up as a singer thanks to A R Rahman who gave me the opportunity to sing ‘Oh Maria…’ in ‘Kadhalar Dhinam’. The song’s success established me as a playback singer,” he says.

Devan add, “And my joy knew no bounds when I was approached by Siddharth, director of ‘Bale Pandiya’, to score music for the film. My happiness is double now, as Bale Pandiya’s songs have been well received. The response is so encouraging.”

The singer has bagged a new project as a music composer. “Yes, I have signed a new film titled ‘Pattarai’. I would like to do one project at a time so that I could give my best besides concentrating on both my professions- singing and as a music composer.”
