The 25 year old from Matunga, Mumbai entered Channel V’s Super Singer contest competing with 25,000 other contestants and was lucky enough to reach the final 25 but not the finals. Still, Lady Luck smiled on him - big. He caught the attention of judges A.R. Rahman and Adnan Sami. Rahman approached him and told the young man that he would be recording with him soon. Iyer took the big chance, decided that he would rather be a singer than a Chartered Accountant and went down to Chennai to record. Iyer has formally trained under Chintamani Gore and Sushila Mani. He has 500 stage shows under his belt with a theater group called Rangaat Productions. Films are not new to him - he has already sung a song in the Tamil movie Anbe Aaruyire. However, it was with Roobaroo, Tu bin bataye and Paathshala from Rang De Basanti that his career took off and put him right up there among the galaxy of promising, aspiring new singers in Bollywood. Iyer was so naive that he did not know that he was singing for an Aamir Khan film when he recorded these numbers! He reminisces that Roobaroo took nearly three hours to record and singing ‘Tu bin bataye’ in a more muted, softer style was a worthy effort. And his meeting with Rahman? He was nervous, of course but once he started working, the nervousness vanished. He is all praise for Rahman and says Rahman is the ‘father of the modern Bollywood sound’. He was delighted to meet Aamir Khan at the studio and is thankful to both these very famous personalities for having launched his career in a big way. He is also all praise for lyricist Prasoon Joshi and enjoyed singing the numbers. In the meantime, he looks forward to a very busy career in playback singing. So do his fans.
