Early life and education

[edit]

J. Anoop Seelin was born in Hassan, Karnataka, where he developed aspirations of becoming a playback singer and film music composer. After finishing his primary and secondary education in Hassan, he and his family relocated to Bangalore for better opportunities. There, Seelin pursued higher education, earning an LLB degree and taking up a career in law.

Career

[edit]

Given his vocal background and the musical influence of his family, Seelin began singing with a band and other groups in Bangalore as a hobby. This hobby led him to pursue a career as a full-time vocalist when he started working as a chorus singer in 1999 with Hamsalekha, a legend of the Kannada music industry. Over the next 6 years, Seelin was given a chance to sing track songs for numerous Hamsalekha compositions, with Hamsalekha personally guiding Seelin to become a renowned playback singer.[1]

Break in the Kannada film industry

[edit]

His break in the Kannada music industry came when he got the chance to sing "Yaro yaro nannavalu yaro..."[2] from the movie Ondagona Baa, followed by hit songs from movies like Sarvabhoma, Madana,[3] Dharma,[4] Janapada,[5] Nenapirali,[6] Sixer,[7] and Thaballi.[8]

After this success in vocal performance, Seelin began to show an interest in composition and began writing songs for the Kannada music industry.

Music direction

[edit]

Selin then signed on to compose the soundtrack for the Kannada movie Gooli.[9] His second movie Yeddelu Manjunatha's[10] audio was released, and the songs were entirely different from what was then the industry trend.[citation needed]

After Preethse Preethse, Seelin's next movie, I Am Sorry Mathe Banni Preethsona, was released in June 2011 and received positive reviews from critics, with the background score being highlighted as one of its standout features..[citation needed]

In the same year, another movie Galla audio was released without much hype.[11] In November, the audio of Sidlingu was released in a theatre in Bangalore.[12] Sidlingu received positive feedback from the media.[13]

Recently, the audio launch of Janma was held in a local hotel.[citation needed] Anoop Seelin has composed six songs for this movie.

Awards and recognition

[edit]

Anoop Seelin has received numerous awards for his versatile singing.

The Government of Karnataka announced the Karnataka State Film Awards for 2010–11, Seelin was named Best Music Director for composing music for the movie Sidlingu.[14] The jury was headed by the noted Kannada Movie director Sunil Kumar Desai.
