about
Anthony Daasan is a prolific traditional Tamil folk musician recently discovered by Kollywood, the Tamil India Film industry. As of 2015, the Internet Movie Data Base (IMDb) listed 24 songs sung by "Andony Dasan" for Kollywood movies, starting in 2013. Many of these were the hit songs of those movies. He is known for contributing a powerful voice to fusions of Tamil-folk, country, jazz, electronica and rock styles. Before this phase of Playback singing, "Antony Dasan" worked as a traveling festival folk singer artist, collaborating with players of Nadaswaram, Thavil and Thappu, dancers and acrobats among others. Originally from Reddypalayam, a small town in Tanjore, he has a traditional musician-family background without formal training except daily practice supporting his family with his singing, following processions since he was a child. His father was a disabled Nadaswaram musician, and Anthony had early experience with church singing, developing a style able to meet the volume of the famously-loud Nadaswaram horn. This is unusual compared to the smooth falsetto voices of Westernized Indian popular music. In earlier video's he can be seen in outdoor full dance and music-troupe environments where his style of band-leading, singing, lyrics, composition, dance, acrobatics and urumee playing came together, reflecting an entire life lived as an entertainer. Daasan performs along side influential movie industry veterans and also collaborates with fresh talents like Santhosh Nar
