Celebrated composer Santhosh Narayanan has just dropped some major news that’s got the music industry—and fans—buzzing. Taking to social media, the Karnan and Kabali hitmaker announced the launch of a dream project that’s been years in the making: an ultra-transparent, affordable music streaming platform built from India, for the world.
In his heartfelt post, Santhosh wrote, "Starting one of my dream projects today... Will see a massive set of legendary artists and upcoming superstars in this platform." His goal is clear—to create a service that puts artists and accessibility first, with fair payouts and subscriptions that don’t break the bank. True to his community-first spirit, he also revealed plans to host hackathons to recruit young talent into leadership roles, making the platform not just artist-friendly but talent-powered too.
Known for pushing sonic boundaries and elevating marginalised voices in Tamil cinema, Santhosh is no stranger to breaking molds. From blending Chennai gaana with electronic textures in Attakathi, to launching folk artists into the mainstream with scores like Pariyerum Perumal and Karnan, he's long been an advocate for inclusivity—not just in sound, but in systems.
This platform seems like a natural next step in that journey. And in true Santhosh fashion, he kept the vibe grounded and interactive, signing off with: "Oru nalla name suggest pannunga"—asking fans to suggest a good name for the platform.
At a time when conversations about fair royalties, streaming monopolies, and gatekeeping in music are louder than ever, this announcement hits a powerful note. If anyone can build a musical ecosystem that’s indie, ethical, and epic, it’s Santhosh Narayanan.
