Music maestro AR Rahman’s son A R Ameen released his first independent single, Sago in Tamil aka Friend from Sony Music’s Madras Gig Season 2. The song has been composed by Rahman and the song is about friendship and love. It’s penned by Vivek & ADK and is produced by Rahman and Ameen. The video is directed by Amith Krishnan featuring Ameen.

Says Ameen, “I’m extremely excited to be making my debut with Sago. Producing this number with Daddy was challenging but I enjoyed working on this and really look forward to seeing what people have to say about my track. Hope I receive a warm welcome into the industry.”

Adds A R Rahman, “As a music producer and composer, hundreds of artists have been introduced through my songs and their contributions have enriched us for over two and a half decades. I wish A R Ameen the very best and hope his song finds a special place in the listeners hearts!”

Working closely with Sony Music on the release, Shridhar Subramaniam, president, India & Middle East, says, “This is an emotional and special moment for us, our relationship with the family spans over two decades, from A R Rahman’s first non-film song Vande Mataram and countless soundtracks to now — as we release Ameen’s debut single. He has everything to be another prodigy. Trained by the best and surrounded with music since birth, for Ameen, making music comes from his heart.”

Sago is the curtain closer from Madras Gig Season 2, an independent music series conceptualised by Sony Music & Knack Studios.
