Chakri

Chakri was a revered figure in the Indian music industry, widely respected for his contributions as a film composer and singer, primarily in Telugu cinema. His talent spanned across various forms of music, encompassing soundtracks that have been etched in the hearts of audiences. Born on June 15, 1974, as Chakradhar Gilla in Mahabubabad, Telangana, he was affectionately known as Chakri among his fans. He broke onto the scene with the film "Bumper Offer" in 2000 and quickly became a sought-after composer due to his distinctive style that blended traditional Indian music with contemporary sounds.

Throughout his prolific career, Chakri created music that touched upon various genres and moods, catering to a wide range of audiences. Some of his most recent works that showcase his versatility include the soothing lo-fi track "Kundanala Bomma (Chill Lofi) - Single" and the dynamic soundtracks for films like "Veediki Dookudekkuva," "Laddu Babu," and "Samrajyam." His skill in crafting memorable and emotive melodies is evident in releases such as "Mugilu," "Mella Thiranthathu Manasu," and "Hey Pove Hey Pora." The music he created for "Errabus" and "Rey" further solidifies his reputation as a composer who consistently delivered quality music that resonated well beyond the films they were created for. Chakri's sudden passing on December 15, 2014, left a void in the South Indian music industry, but his work continues to inspire and entertain new generations of listeners and musicians alike.
