Arivu
The Indian rapper and playback singer known as Arivu was born Arivarasu Kalainesan in Arakkonam, a town 60 kilometers west of Chennai. He grew up in a middle-class Christian family and was exposed to Indian traditional music from a very young age. His literary ambitions materialized during his high school years as he began writing poems addressing subjects like caste and poverty. While attending college, he met film director Pa. Ranjith, who brought him on board as a lyricist for his 2018 action drama Kaala and invited him to join his band The Casteless Collective. In 2019, Arivu teamed up with bandmate OfRO to release the politically charged hip-hop album Therukural. Subsequently, Arivu collaborated with video streamer Madan Gowri on the single “Monkeys with 5G” (2020) and featured on “Enjoy Enjaami” (2021), the debut single by Tamil singer Dhee. “Ratatapata,” his contribution to the comedy horror film Aranmanai 3, came out in August 2021.
