Allah-Rakha Rahman (born A. S. Dileep Kumar on January 6, 1967) is an Indian composer, singer-songwriter, music producer, musician, multi-instrumentalist and philanthropist. Rahman redefined the contemporary Indian music. His works are notable for integrating Eastern classical music with electronic music sounds, world music genres and traditional orchestral arrangements. Time has described him as the world's most prominent and prolific film composer.

Additional quotes by A. R. Rahman
The billboard outside the Broadway Theatre reads, A R RAHMAN'S BOMBAY DREAMS. That name may mean little to musical-theater devotees, but in the rest of the world it's golden. Like Gershwin or Lennon-McCartney, the name stands for melody, quality, energy, instant hummability — a sound both personal and universal, devouring many older forms and transforming them into something gorgeously new.
