Kollywood is now filled with the most promising youngsters, especially in the field of Music. Leon James, the composer of ‘Ko 2’ is a musician by birth. His father Noel James has worked with AR Rahman for years and quite naturally Leon started learning the keyboard at his fourth age. A Well-known guitarist and keyboardist Leon was brought to the limelight by Raghava Lawrence in his film’ Kanchana 2’
And now his songs for ‘Ko 2’ are being played repeatedly, across FM stations.
Leon James, the music director of ‘Ko 2’, says, "Even though I have been a professional musician since 2009, composing film music was totally new to me. When producer Elred Kumar of R S infotainment offered ‘Ko2’ a political thriller to me, I instantly agreed, as I wanted to explore a range of compositions on diverse themes. It was a big opportunity for me as a composer. I had a dream to collaborate with other musicians and bring in fresh talent and new instruments for which Ko 2 gave me the chance to do exactly that. Accordingly I have given my best in this movie and I feel really happy to know that the sound tracks have reached the audience positively".
James who is presently working day and night on the background scores for ‘Ko 2’ is trying to blend a 25 piece live string orchestra with modern synths and new age sounds. "So I'm very excited about how it has turned out. I'm sure audience across the class and mass will enjoy the film," says the young and vibrant Leon James.
Starring Bobby Simha and Nikki Galrani in the lead roles. ‘Ko 2’ directed by debutant Sharath is all set to hit the screens on May 6, 2016.
