Happy Birthday to a girl, who had her Birthday that day!), not like those MOR Divas, who are robtotic and big-headed. Stone herself describes it as 'truly me. That's why I'm calling it Introducing Joss Stone. These are my words, and this is who I am as an artist.' She also revealed on The Tavis Smiley Show that her break-up with Beau Dozier was a source of inspiration while writing Introducing Joss Stone.

English singer and songwriter Joss Stone has released seven studio albums, one compilation album, three extended plays, 43 singles (including 15 as a featured artist), five promotional singles, one video album and 21 music videos. As of May 2015, Stone had sold more than 14 million albums worldwide.^[1]

Stone's debut studio album, The Soul Sessions, was released in September 2003, consisting mostly of cover versions of soul songs from the 1960s and 1970s.^[2][3] The album peaked at number four on the UK Albums Chart and was later certified triple platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI).^[4][5] It produced the singles 'Fell in Love with a Boy' and 'Super Duper Love', both of which peaked at number 18 on the UK Singles Chart.^[4]The Soul Sessions has sold five million copies worldwide.^[6]

In September 2004, Stone released her second studio album and her first of original material, Mind Body & Soul.^[7] It debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart, making Stone the youngest female solo artist to top the chart.^[8] The album spawned four singles, including 'You Had Me', which reached number nine on the UK Singles Chart and became Stone's highest-peaking single on the chart to date.^[4] Like its predecessor, Mind Body & Soul was certified triple platinum by the BPI.^[5]

Stone's third studio album, Introducing Joss Stone, was released in March 2007. It failed to match the commercial success of Stone's previous albums in her native United Kingdom, reaching number 12 on the UK Albums Chart and being certified silver by the BPI.^[4][5] Nevertheless, the album debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 in the United States, becoming the highest-charting debut by a British female solo artist on the chart in the Nielsen SoundScan era at the time.^[9]

Following a highly publicised battle with EMI,^[2] Stone released her fourth studio album, Colour Me Free!, in October 2009. It reached number 75 on the UK Albums Chart, her lowest-peaking album to date.^[4] After parting ways with EMI in 2010, Stone launched her own record label, Stone'd Records, and released her fifth studio album, LP1, in July 2011, in partnership with independent label Surfdog Records.^[10] Stone also joined Mick Jagger, Dave Stewart, A. R. Rahman and Damian Marley to form the supergroup SuperHeavy, who released their eponymous debut album in September 2011.^[2][11] Later that month, EMI released her first compilation album, The Best of Joss Stone 2003–2009. In July 2012, Stone released her sixth studio album, The Soul Sessions Vol. 2, a follow-up to The Soul Sessions that also consists of cover versions of classic soul songs.^[2] The album peaked at number six on the UK Albums Chart, earning Stone her first top-10 album since Mind Body & Soul.^[4]

After his father's death when Rahman was nine years old, the rental of his father's musical equipment provided his family's income.^[11] Raised by his mother, Kareema (born Kashturi),^[12] Rahman, who was studying in Padma Seshadri Bala Bhavan had to work to support his family. which led to him to routinely miss classes and fail exams. Therefore, the Principal Mrs YGP summoned Rahman and his mother and told them that Rahman should focus on academics irrespective of family circumstances. Rahman attended another school called MCN for a year,^[13] and later joined Madras Christian College Higher Secondary School, where he was admitted on his music talent and formed a band with his high school classmates.^[14] However, after discussing with his mother, he later dropped out of school to pursue a career as a full-time musician.^[15][16] Rahman was a keyboard player and arranger for bands such as Roots (with childhood friend and percussionist Sivamani, John Anthony, Suresh Peters, JoJo and Raja)^[17] and founded the Chennai-based rock group Nemesis Avenue.^[18] He mastered the keyboard, piano, synthesizer, harmonium and guitar, and was particularly interested in the synthesizer because it was the 'ideal combination of music and technology'.^[19]

Rahman began his early musical training under Master Dhanraj,^[20][21] and at age 11 began playing in the orchestra of Malayalam composer (and close friend of his father) M. K. Arjunan.^[22] He soon began working with other composers, such as M. S. Viswanathan, Ilaiyaraaja, Ramesh Naidu and Raj-Koti,^[21] accompanied Zakir Hussain, Kunnakudi Vaidyanathan and L. Shankar on world tours and obtained a scholarship from Trinity College London to the Trinity College of Music.^[12]

His mother was a practicing Hindu.^[24][25][26] At the age of 23, he converted to Islam with other members of his family in 1989, changing his name to Allahrakka Rahman (A. R.

Soundtracks

Rahman initially composed scores for different documentaries and jingles for advertisements and Indian television channels. In 1987 Rahman, then still known as Dileep, composed jingles for a line of watches introduced by Allwyn.^[31] He also arranged the jingles for some advertisements that went on to become very popular, including the popular jingle for Titan Watches, in which he used the theme from Mozart's Symphony no.25.^[32][33][34]

In 1992, he was approached by director Mani Ratnam to compose the score and soundtrack for his Tamil film, Roja.^[35][36]

Rahman's film career began in 1992 when he started Panchathan Record Inn, a recording and mixing studio in his backyard. It would become the most-advanced recording studio in India,^[35] and arguably one of Asia's most sophisticated and high-tech studios.^[37] Cinematographer Santosh Sivan signed Rahman for his second film Yoddha, a Malayalam film starring Mohanlal and directed by Sivan's brother Sangeeth Sivan that released in September 1992.

The musical cues in the soundtrack albums for Sangamam and Iruvar used Carnatic vocals, the veena, rock guitar and jazz.^[56] During the 2000s, Rahman composed scores and popular songs for Rajiv Menon's Kandukondain Kandukondain, Alaipayuthey, Ashutosh Gowariker's Swades, Rang De Basanti^[57] and songs with Hindustani motifs for 2005's Water.

Shankar (Gentleman, Kadhalan, Indian, Jeans, Mudhalvan, Nayak, Boys, Sivaji and Enthiran).^[58]

In 2005 Rahman expanded his Panchathan Record Inn studio by establishing AM Studios in Kodambakkam, Chennai, creating the most cutting-edge studio in Asia.^[59][60] The following year he launched his own music label, KM Music,^[61] with his score for Sillunu Oru Kaadhal.^[62] Rahman scored the Mandarin-language film Warriors of Heaven and Earth in 2003 after researching and using Chinese and Japanese classical music,^[63] and won the Just Plain Folks Music Organization Just Plain Folks Music Award For Best Music Album for his score for 2006's Varalaru (God Father).^[64] He co-scored Shekhar Kapur's second British film, Elizabeth: The Golden Age, in 2007^[65] and received a Best Composer Asian Film Award nomination at the Hong Kong International Film Festival for his Jodhaa Akbar score.^[66] Rahman's music has been sampled for other scores in India,^[67] appearing in Inside Man, Lord of War, Divine Intervention and The Accidental Husband.

His score for his first Hollywood film, the 2009 comedy Couples Retreat, won the BMI London Award for Best Score.^[68] Rahman's music for 2008's Slumdog Millionaire won a Golden Globe and two Academy Awards (a first for an Asian), and the songs 'Jai Ho' and 'O.. Saya' from its soundtrack were internationally successful. His music on 2008's Bollywood Jaane Tu..

The lyrics are by Nirmika Singh, and MC Heam (rap) .^[126]

Musical style and impact

Skilled in Carnatic music, Western and Hindustani classical music and the Qawwali style of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Rahman is noted for film songs amalgamating elements of these and other genres, layering instruments from different musical idioms in an improvisational style.^[30][127] During the 1980s Rahman recorded monaural arrangements in common with his musical predecessors, K. V. Mahadevan and Vishwanathan–Ramamoorthy. In later years his methodology changed, as he experimented with the fusion of traditional instruments with new electronic sounds and technology.^[30][128]

Rahman's musical interests and outlook originate in his love of experimentation. His compositions have an auteuristic use of counterpoint, orchestration and the human voice, melding Indian pop music with a unique timbre, form and instrumentation. With this syncretic style and wide-ranging lyrics, the appeal of Rahman's music crosses classes and cultures in Indian society.^[129]

His first soundtrack, for Roja, was listed on Time's all-time '10 Best Soundtracks' in 2005. Film critic Richard Corliss said that the composer's 'astonishing debut work parades Rahman's gift for alchemizing outside influences until they are totally Tamil, totally Rahman',^[130] and his initial global success is attributed to the South Asian diaspora. Music producer Ron Fair considers Rahman 'one of the world's great living composers in any medium'.^[131]

Director Baz Luhrmann said:

I had come to the music of A. R. Rahman through the emotional and haunting score of Bombay and the wit and celebration of Lagaan. But the more of AR's music I encountered the more I was to be amazed at the sheer diversity of styles: from swinging brass bands to triumphant anthems; from joyous pop to West-End musicals. Whatever the style, A. R. Rahman's music always possesses a profound sense of humanity and spirit, qualities that inspire me the most.^[132]

Rahman introduced 7.1 surround sound technology to South Indian films.^[133]

On 21 May 2014 Rahman announced that he has partnered with former Black Eyed Peas' Will.i.am to recreate an early popular track 'Urvashi Urvashi'. Track is 'Birthday'.^[134]

Personal life

Rahman is married to Saira Banu (not to be confused with actress Saira Banu); they have three children: Khatija, Rahima and Ameen.^[135] Ameen has sung 'NaNa' from Couples Retreat, and Khatija has sung 'Pudhiya Manidha' from Enthiran.^[136][137] Rahman is the uncle of composer G. V. Prakash Kumar, the son of his elder sister A. R. Reihana.^[138] Rahman's younger sister, Fathima, heads his music conservatory in Chennai.^{[citation needed]} The youngest, Ishrath, has a music studio. A.R.Rahman is the co-brother^[139] of film actor Rahman.^[140]

Born Hindu, Rahman converted to Islam when he was in his 20s. After the early death of his father, his family experienced difficult times; Sufism influenced his mother who was a practicing Hindu^[24] and, eventually, his family.^[28][141] During the 81st Academy Awards ceremony Rahman paid tribute to his mother: 'There is a Hindi dialogue, mere pass ma hai, which means 'even if I have got nothing I have my mother here'.'^[142] He said, 'Ella pughazhum iraivanukke' ('All praise to God' in Tamil, a translation from the Quran) before his speech.^[143]

Philanthropy

Rahman is involved with a number of charitable causes. In 2004 he was appointed as the global ambassador of the Stop TB Partnership, a WHO project.^[93] Rahman has supported Save the Children India and worked with Yusuf Islam on 'Indian Ocean', a song featuring a-ha keyboard player Magne Furuholmen and Travis drummer Neil Primrose. Proceeds from the song went to help orphans in Banda Aceh who were affected by the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami.^[144] He produced the single 'We Can Make It Better' by Don Asian with Mukhtar Sahota.^[145] In 2008 Rahman opened the KM Music Conservatory with an audio-media education facility to train aspiring musicians in vocals, instruments, music technology and sound design. The conservatory (with prominent musicians on staff and a symphony orchestra) is located near his studio in Kodambakkam, Chennai and offers courses at several levels. Violinist L. Subramaniam is on its advisory board.^[146] Several of Rahman's proteges from the studio have scored feature films.^[147] In 2009, He founded Sunshine Orchestra with a vision to introduce India's first symphony orchestra where economically and socially deprived children get free music education by the KM Music Conservatory. He composed the theme music for a 2006 short film for The Banyan to aid poor women in Chennai.^[148]
