Arivu

Commonly known as Arivarsu Kalainesan (Born: 29/10/1991) is an Indian rap, songwriter and playback singer. He usually works in Tamil films. He is best known for his song “Vathi Raid” written for Anirudh’s Composer Master (2021) and for his single “Enchai Enjami” which he sang with Dhee.

Profession
While pursuing his MBA in college, Arivu met Pa. Ranjith who signed him to be part of Kaala (2018). Arivu had later auditioned and landed a role in Ranjith’s band The Casteless Collective. He has since made several independent songs in addition to composing songs for Tamil-language films. Arivu teamed with music producer OfRo to write several songs for his album, “Therukural” (Voice of street), which became popular among release.

Early life
Arivu was brought up in Arakkonam, a town 60 kilometres west of Chennai. He was exposed to many folk songs as he grew up in family without TV and radio, as his parents wanted him to concentrate on school. He started to write poems about caste and poverty in his high school days and became more politically conscious during his college.
