Allahrakha (A. R.) Rahman is a legendary Indian composer, music producer, and humanitarian widely revered as the Mozart of Madras. In 2011, Time described him as the world’s most prominent and prolific film composer. He made global history by becoming the first Indian to win a Golden Globe and two Academy Awards for Slumdog Millionaire, alongside two Grammy Awards. His profound lifetime impact lies in bridging traditional Eastern classical arrangements with electronic global world music. A UN Global Ambassador for the Stop TB Partnership, he has been honoured with a street namesake in Ontario, Canada, and serves as the Honorary President of Trinity Laban. Continuously pushing creative boundaries, Rahman won the XTIC Award for Innovation for his virtual reality film Le Musk and recently announced his highly anticipated official autobiography, Rahman: A Renaissance.
