It was after listening to the soundtrack album of the Bollywood film Taal , at the age of 14, that he decided to create his own music. [3]

Career

An opportunity that came through his friend Asha G. Menon, to compose the title track of a television show titled Hridayaragam, kickstarted Mujeeb's career as a composer. [4]
