Sam C. S. is an Indian film music composer, producer, lyricist, and singer who predominantly works in Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam films. He debuted in Tamil with the horror film Orr Eravuu before working on the scientific thriller Ambuli.[1][2][3][4]

His most notable scores include Kaithi, Puriyatha Puthir, Vikram Vedha (and its 2022 remake), Odiyan, Adanga Maru and NOTA.

Early life

Sam was born in Munnar, Kerala. He lives in Cumbum, Theni, Tamil Nadu. He attended St. Aloysius Higher Secondary School in Royappan Patti, Theni. He later earned a degree in MCA and MBA from St. Joseph's College, Tiruchirappalli. He worked for a software company after his graduation.

Career

Sam assisted other music composers on scores for movies.[5] His talent was soon discovered by movie houses, which led to an opportunity to compose music for musical thriller Mellisai, later renamed Puriyatha Puthir.[6][7]

During this time, he composed jingles, which led him to meet the director duo Pushkar-Gayathri, who offered him the opportunity to score Vikram Vedha. The film's album and original soundtracks went on to become chart toppers.[8]

Sam got his next opportunity in 2018 when director V. A. Shrikumar Menon offered him Mohanlal-starrer Odiyan to score.
