Nivas K. Prasanna is an Indian music director and singer who works in Tamil film industry.

Career

Born and brought up in Tirunelveli town India in South Tamil Nadu, Nivas began learning

Bharathiyar, which impressed producer Santhosh from Think Music.[1] Santhosh then recommended him to score the music for Pizza II: Villa (2013), but Nivas was eventually not selected. Santhosh later offered Nivas to work on the murder mystery film, Thegidi (2014), directed by Ramesh and the venture became Nivas's first project.[1]

Thegidi won positive reviews for its music, and the film's success at the box office meant that Nivas K. Prasanna received attention for his work. For the album he worked alongside singers including Shankar Mahadevan, Andrea Jeremiah and Abhay Jodhpurkar.[2][3][4] It also won him the Behindwoods Gold Award for Find of the Year, and the composer performed at the awards ceremony.[5] His second album, Sethupathi (2016), received mixed reviews with a review from The Hindu stating it was a "cop-out".[6] It is reported that Nivas has been signed to score the music for Kumki-2, a sequel of Kumki and this is the first time that director Prabhu Soloman is working with a different music director, as his all previous movies were scored by D. Imman.[7][8][9]
