Jayakumar, was a film guitarist who later became a noted musician and Chennai film composer. His father was an assistant to Malayalam music director Shyam and he hoped to make his child Harris a great singer. But Harris' interest was in film music and he once confessed that he couldn't sing well. Career
Harris Jayaraj entered the world of film music as a musician, programming scores and drum-percussion for films under the Indian music director A. R. Rahman. Harris had been the first person to receive the title of Top Mark Scorer in Asia from Trinity College of Music. Harris began his career as a keyboardist for several music directors over twelve years including Rahman, Mani Sharma, Vidyasagar, Karthik Raja, Yuvan Shankar Raja and Sirpi, in addition to composing beats for TV advertisements.[2]
His first film project was Minnale. The music he scored was well received, particularly the song "Vaseegara", which was in the charts for weeks.
