A.R. Rahman

The Mozart of Madras — A. R. Rahman, the man who scored 'Roja' (1992) at twenty-something and then proceeded to rewrite Indian film music for thirty-plus years. He bridges Tamil cinema, Bollywood, and the global pop charts; he won two Oscars and a Grammy for 'Slumdog Millionaire'; he scored 'Lagaan,' 'Bombay,' 'Dil Se,' 'Rang De Basanti,' '127 Hours' and the Andrew Lloyd Webber 'Bombay Dreams.' He runs the KM Music Conservatory in Chennai and trains the next generation. Equal parts Quincy Jones and Hans Zimmer with a Sufi-mystic side hustle, and one of the most quietly globe-shaping composers alive.
