Then why should I listen?"įor someone who dislikes the marriage of technology and creation of music, we wonder what his favourite instrument would be. If that's not the case, then there should be at least a small thing that I learn from it.

We asked him about the current generation of aspiring musicians using YouTube as a platform to showcase their work and the veteran nodded saying, "They have to find their own way right?

He calls it "official" only because there have been several unofficial pages under his name and laughs that he should be the man with the highest number of fake "official" channels. Speaking at the press conference Ilaiyaraaja said, "I am happy, pleased and excited to inform you that today I am launching my Official Channel and Ilaiyaraaja Official YouTube Channel." He also promised to be more active on his Facebook page. The veteran musician Ilaiyaraaja launched his own website and YouTube channel at the Hyatt Regency in Chennai on August 14.
