One of the voices from the popular 90s band Aryans, is that of Sadasivan KM Nambisan aka Sadu. The founding member, vocalist, lyricist and composer from the erstwhile pop act, will be releasing a series of singles, starting December 2019 with Mausam.

Carrying forward the legacy of hummable melodies from Aryans, that gave us unforgettable hits — such as Aankhon Mein Tera Hi Chehra, Dekha Hai Teri Aankhon Ko and Yeh hawa Kehti Hai Kya —Sadu seeks to bring back the era of “good music with a spine, simple melodies and nice lyrics.”

Mausam, was recorded live instruments and no programming whatsoever, in complete contrast to the trend of recording nowadays.

A romantic melody, Mausam narrates the anticipation of meeting a love interest and intensity of the waiting period. “Sometimes simple lyrics communicate the expression is the most effective manner and on occasion, a weeping guitar expresses the emotion is the best fashion. Beyond sky-high plugins and fancy gadgets, a simple melody can truly stand out. I’m pleasantly surprised and also not surprised at the same time seeing how warmly people have responded to Mausam, even before we put the video out.” says Sadu 

Sadu was born in Kerala but brought up in different parts of the country such as Ooty, Tamil Nadu and Itarsi, Madhya Pradesh, given that his father was in the defence services. Eventually, he found himself in Mumbai in his pursuit of music. 

With a masters degree in Science (Organic Chemistry with specialisation in Environment Science) and a keen interest in sports, Sadu first brush with music was in the small town of Bhopal, MP with an orchestra group but his relentless desire to make his own music took him to Mumbai, in 1996. That is where he met his soon to be bandmates DJ Narain and Jai Walia and Aryans - the band are into existence. 

Universal Music formerly known as PolyGram launched their first album ‘Aankhon mein tera hi chehra’, the title song starring Shahid Kapur, became an instant hit in 1999. The next two tracks ‘Yeh hawa kehti hai kya’ in 2000 and ‘Dekha hai teri aankhon ko’ in 2002/2003, were also big hits and then the awards started during in, soon after. 

With pressing individual professional commitments (Sadu runs a Pharma company), the band continued to do shows for a while and then over a period of time, members released a few songs independent of the brand name. 

Sadu feels very strongly about the need for a music industry independent of the film industry and urges musicians to keep up the good fight for original music.
