Mujeeb Majeed (born on 21 September 1985 in Thrissur Kerala) is an Indian music composer, music arranger, and singer. He debuted in mainstream cinema as music director of the Malayalam-language film Mandharam released in 2018.[1] Mujeeb works primarily in Malayalam films. His background score for the short film Pawssible won him a Kerala State Television Award for Best Music Director.[2] He is currently based in Kochi, Kerala.
Early life
[edit]As a child, Mujeeb was introduced to music by his family. His grandfather was a self-taught percussionist and his uncles used to sing with several musical troupes in Kerala. In an online interview, he mentioned A. R. Rahman as his primary inspiration to become a music producer. 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
[edit]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]
Mujeeb received his first feature film opportunity in 2018 with Mandharam. In 2021, he composed the songs and background score for the National award winner Thinkalazhcha Nishchayam.[5]
