Artist Detailed Info: Mickey Meyer

Mickey J Meyer (Telugu: మిక్కి జే మేయర్) is an Indian film composer and singer. He has composed songs and film scores mainly for Telugu films and is based in Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, India.

His work has mostly seen hints of Western music. He owes this to his schooling from the Trinity College of Music, London.

According to Mickey, he got addicted to music because of A. R. Rahman -who he hails as an inspiration and his most favourite musician- as he grew up listening to Rahman's music mostly.[1][2] After graduating from Trinity College, in 2005, he decided to become a music director. He approached Tammareddy Bharadwaja and in the form of Pothe Poni (2005), he got his first break in the Telugu music industry. His music for Pothe Poni was succeeded by 10th Class (2006) and Notebook (2007) in the following years. Thereafter, he was signed by Sekhar Kammula for the film Happy Days, which was widely noticed and lauded and was considered as one of the best albums of the year.[3][4] Consequently, he was awarded the Best Music Director Award at the three major Telugu Film Awards (Filmfare Awards South, Nandi Awards and CineMAA Awards) for the film. Noticeably, it was also the first film for which he composed the film score too.

The success of the film led to remakes of the film in Kannada and Tamil languages, Mickey J Meyer was retained as the music director in both the films (Happy Days and Inidhu Inidhu respectively)[5] and his entry into other Indian film industries happened. Following this breakthrough album, he got the opportunities to compose the scores and songs for the Telugu films Hare Ram and Kotha Bangaru Lokam, which slowly established him in the Telugu film industry....
