Melody Man: D Imman completes 20 years in Kollywood

Chennai: National Award-winning music director D Imman, who completed two decades in the music industry this week, has expressed thanks to his fans, friends, collaborators and mentors who helped him carve a niche in the hyper-competitive arena of scoring music for Tamil films.

Opening up on Instagram, Imman said, “My sincere gratitude to music lovers, producers, directors, actors, singers, lyricists, instrumentalists, press and the media for being so supportive in my film music journey.” “My father and late mother stood by me through obstacles and hardships. Your words of encouragement made me cross the successful 20 years mark in this field! Glory to God!”

Imman is one of the most popular music directors in the Tamil film industry. Just last year, the music director received the National Award for Best Music Direction for his score in the Ajith-starrer Viswasam.

The music director, who began his film journey with the Vijay-starrer Tamizhan in 2002, shot to fame with his number Azhagiya Asura from the film Whistle. His scores for films directed by director Prabhu Solomon like Myna and Kumki also earned him a huge fan following.

The music director, who has scored for a number of films of actor Sivakarthikeyan, was also entrusted with the responsibility of scoring for Rajinikanth’s Annaatthe and is today one of the most sought after music directors in the Tamil film industry.
