Rahman, is an Indian composer, singer and music producer who works predominantly in Tamil and Hindi movies. In 2010, the Indian government awarded him the Padma Bhushan, the nation's third-highest civilian award.[2] Among Rahman's awards are six National Film Awards, two Academy Awards, two Grammy Awards, a BAFTA Award, a Golden Globe Award, fifteen Filmfare Awards and seventeen Filmfare Awards South.

Rahman initially composed scores for different documentaries and jingles for advertisements and Indian television channels. With his in-house studio Panchathan Record Inn, Rahman's film-scoring career began during the early 1990s with the Tamil film Roja. Rahman followed this with successful scores and songs for Tamil language films for the Chennai film industry, including Ratnam's politically-charged Bombay, the urban Kadhalan, Thiruda Thiruda and S. Shankar's debut film Gentleman.

Rahman's score for his first Hollywood film, the comedy Couples Retreat (2009), won the BMI Award for Best Score. His music for Slumdog Millionaire (2008) earned him Best Original Score and Best Original Song at the 81st Academy Awards. He was also awarded Best Compilation Soundtrack Album and Best Song Written for Visual Media at the 2010 Grammy Awards. He is nicknamed "Isai Puyal" (the musical storm) and Mozart of Madras".[3]

Rahman has also become a humanitarian and philanthropist, donating and raising money for a number of causes and charities. In 2006, he was honoured by Stanford University for his contributions to global music.[4] In 2009, he was included on the Time list of the world's 100 most influential people.[5] In 2014, he was awarded an honorary doctorate from Berklee College of Music. In 2017, he made his debut as a director and writer for the film Le Musk.[6]		59059237215038

When Chai meets ToastWhen Chai Met Toast was initially a two-piece project consisting only of Achyuth and Ashwin. The duo met in 2014 at a music café in Fort Kochi when Achyuth was doing an internship. He asked Ashwin to do the vocals for some music he was recording. That’s when the two realized that they worked well as a team.

They came up with the name When Chai Met Toast which represented the coming together of Indian (chai) and Western (toast) influences in their music. “Ashwin was the chai and I was the toast,” laughs Achyuth.
They were soon joined by a common friend Richy who played the keyboard. However, when he left for Australia to study and Ashwin moved to the US, the band disbanded temporarily. Meanwhile, Achyuth joined the Raghu Dixit Project and toured with Dixit from May 2015 to August 2016.

Once Achyuth returned to Kochi, he and Ashwin decided to get together again and expand the band. They were joined by Palee and Sailesh through mutual friends – and that’s how When Chai Met Toast as we know it, began.
The Kochi-based band is a four-piece project with Ashwin Gopakumar on vocals and guitar, Palee Francis on the keyboard, and Sailesh G Pai on drums, apart from Achyuth		192042107548
