Harish Raghavendra (Lyricist: Kadhal Marandhayada & Modern Kalyanam)
A voice with a unique timbre, now in an all new avatar as a lyricist. A true professional who doesn’t rest before the work is done. Still amazed at his ability to pen down lyrics within an unbelievably short spans of time.
Muthamil (Lyricist: For the first line of Mella sirithai)
An upcoming talent who gave a fresh beginning to the viral song Mella Sirithai.
Sakthi (Lyricist: Mella Sirithai)

Seenu (Harp, Santoor, Dulcimer, Sarod, Eight string guitar, Mandolin, Hawaii Guitar, Shai Bhajji, Pipa)
Not one, not two, he plays 50 string instruments. A very senior artiste with rich experience, his strings have been plucked to give beautiful colours to the album.

As if charming the crowd with his amazing acting talent were not enough, the hero takes a birth as a super singer.
Santhosh (Think Music)
He has this unique penchant to find new talent and give them the right platform. Can’t thank Think Music & Santhosh enough to have given me this break

A winning teamwork. Each of these talented singers has complemented one another.
Venkat (Dholak, Tapattai, Tape, Satty)
This table specialist is a known face across popular TV programs. My association with him goes back a long way. His growth from being only a tabla player to picking up skills to play a variety of other instruments such as the dholak and tapattai, serves a big inspiration for me to keep the thirst for knowledge alive.
Thirumurthy (Nadaswaram) A senior musician with 35 years of rich experience. I feel excited to have given his authentic, pure, traditional method of playing, a modern twist.

Heard of the kind of friends who would give their breath for you? This chap is one for me. He only expressed that throughhis whistles.

I love his sense of rhythm and tone layering. He has been the backbone for the rhythm programming across the album.
