Prasanth Ilangowen, a young talent has launched a new music video 1 month ago. The song titled “Nila Velicham Nee” has been released on Prasanth’s YouTube channel. Hailing from Klang, Selangor, Prasanth started his musical journey as an enthusiastic keyboardist at the age of 7. Gradually, he expanded his skills to encompass singing, composing, and playing the guitar, captivating audiences with his stage performances throughout his teenage years.
However, his journey didn’t stop there. At the age of 23, he reached a significant milestone in his musical evolution. This marked the moment when he transitioned into a fully independent composer and songwriter. To celebrate this transformative phase in his career, he released his very first single on YouTube, thereby sharing his artistic talents with a wider audience and commencing a new chapter in his musical story.
When we asked about what sparked Prasanth interest in music, he said that,
I grew up in a family that loves music and I was inspired by beautiful songs. Wonderful tunes composed by various composers sparked my interest in the music industry. Inspiration from my idol, AR Rahman boosted the interest to further venture into compositions. Moreover, my family and friends supported my musical works and performances throughout the years and it keeps me continuing to do more.
The foundation of Prasanth’s love for music, nurtured by his family, serves as a testament to the unifying power of music. The fact that music has been a constant presence in his life is not just a testament to his talent, but also a reflection of how music can transcend boundaries and bring people together.
The influence of various composers and the enchanting melodies they’ve crafted often holds a special place in the hearts of those who truly appreciate the art of music. Prasanth’s story beautifully exemplifies how the captivating tunes of these composers have a unique ability to resonate deep within us, inspiring a profound passion for the music industry.
Prasanth has successfully composed and released two songs, which are “Nila Velicham Nee” and “Kadhal Yennoduthaan”. Notably both songs are Prasanth’s independent compositions.
“Nila Velicham Nee” is a happy going song in which its video portrays a young man who picks up his guitar and starts traveling to meet the girl he loves with so much excitement in him, and ends up with all of the things that happened as a University student’s dream . The video also portrays some of the eye-catching places the young man travels that make people fall in love with Malaysia’s urban sceneries.
This breezy song aims to give happy vibes to all the listeners with the beats that makes them dance as well. The lyrics portray how the young man matches his love’s beauty with the beauty of nature and his feelings towards her as he is going to meet her soon.
This song give us the vibes of Suriya finds for his love in the song, “Nee Indri Naanum Illai” from “Vaaranam Aayiram“. However, it’s the distinct composition of this track that truly sets it apart, aligning perfectly with the preferences of today’s generation. Moreover, the choice of locations for the music video and the exceptional cinematography deserve special mention.
“Kadhal Yennoduthaan” is a song that shows the emotion of a young man who faces anxiety and fear of losing the girl he loves. The lyrics of the song delve deep into the raw and poignant pain that this young man experiences. It becomes evident that his emotions are entirely his own, as his affection for the girl is unrequited, making it a one-sided love story. This unreciprocated love becomes the focal point of the song, encapsulating the heart-wrenching essence of his feeling.
Prasanth’s journey in crafting these songs has provided him with an invaluable reservoir of experience. Songwriting and music composition are intricate arts that demand a blend of creativity, technical skill, and unwavering dedication. In the pursuit of such artistic endeavors, it’s not uncommon to encounter obstacles and difficulties, especially in the early stages.
As he shares his experience working in the songs, he says,
My debut song, “Kaadhal Yennoduthaan,” marked an experimental venture for me. I took on the role of crafting the melodies and arrangement, personally overseeing these aspects of the song’s creation. In a collaborative effort, my family’s business client and a highly respected Malaysian artist, Santesh, took charge of the beats, recording, mixing, mastering, and the subsequent release of the song. Through this collaborative experience, I gained invaluable insights into the entire process of bringing a song to fruition, a remarkable learning opportunity.
It’s worth noting that the song was officially released on Santesh’s Rentak Angkasa YouTube channel, signifying a significant milestone in my musical journey. This first-hand experience, from composition to release, laid the foundation for my future work in the music industry.
Armed with the knowledge and a melody I had been composing since the age of 13, coupled with a few lines of lyrics that had been lingering in my mind, I embarked on a personal musical journey where I released “Nila Velicham Nee” my second song.
This journey involved creating lyrics, providing my own vocals, and collaborating with a friend on the video, his first foray into cinematography. I also delved into mixing and mastering with the guidance of Boy Radge. It was a challenging but deeply fulfilling process. I’m grateful for the opportunity to produce a quality music video and hope it resonates with millions of hearts. This is just the start of my artistic path.
Creating an original song is a significant milestone in any musician’s career. It requires not only musical talent but also a deep understanding of the art of songwriting and composition. Prasanth’s ability to conceive and produce two independent compositions underscores his passion for music and his desire to share his unique musical perspective with the world. His dedication and talent are certainly something to watch and celebrate.
