Filmography
editThe duo from the band, Siddeshwar and Vikram has composed music for a Sandalwood film Jai Hind, produced by Major Srinivas Pujar.[1][7] [8]
Early days
editThe thought process emanated early in the year 2001 with an objective of making music albums. Siddeshwar, the founder of Nee, went on a talent search to build a strong music team to make innovative songs. Sairam became a strong pillar of Nee since 2004 and composed several Hindi songs which include a Nee Album Hit score 'Pahadi'.[9]
Nee became a complete music troop in the year 2007 with Sumitra and Joshi joining in.[3] The Nee group performed live on 15 December 2008 on the sets of TV9 (National News Channel) that became a big booster for them to create a music album.
Motive
editNee's motive is to give a message to the society; one of the album’s songs showcases the four noble truths of life as enlightened by Gautama Buddha.
This album showcases all shades of life like happiness, sorrow, romance, excitement, enjoyment, love for nature so on and so forth. Nee is the first Kannada music album of its kind, which gratifies likes of all ages.
