Rajesh, a music enthusiast from Chennai, had grown up listening to the iconic Tamil songs composed by AR Rahman. His parents would often play his songs while driving, and he would sing along to his heart's content. As he grew older, Rajesh wanted to explore more of Rahman's discography, but he couldn't find all the songs in one place.

You might hear re-mastered versions that strip away the warmth of 90s analog recordings, or find that rare B-side from Sangamam is missing due to licensing hell.
