There are many IT professionals who happen to be artistes too but they go into oblivion simply because they don’t have enough time to spare for their art.

But music composer and director Ramkumar R N is different. His desire and enthusiasm in fusion music coupled with hard work and attention to detail has given birth to an audio album christened ‘Fusion Captivated’.

Speaking at the launch, music director Bharadwaj said that he is happy to know that the CD is a composer’s work. ‘It is a difficult job to be a composer. Every composer’s challenge is to think about new music and its new style. Ramkumar has come up with  new music. Lets hope he’ll climb more steps,’ he said.

‘In India, fusion music started with Pandit Ravishankar. Then we had masters like Alla Rakha Khan and Zakir Hussain. After a long gap here comes another fusion artiste Ramkumar. He should be appreciated,’ said noted television anchor and cine artiste Yugi Sethu.

Speaking about his inspiration, Ramkumar R N said it was during a morning walk that the idea of a fusion album emerged in his mind. ‘On the next level, I got support from many artistes and that resulted in the production of Fusion Captivated’.

Singer and TV anchor Meera Krishna, her husband and actor Krishna, Pradeep of  Think Music also spoke on the occasion. The album has five songs. Think Music, the audio division of Satyam Cinemas is marketing this album.
