Adi Hari, who is making his music direction debut with KISS, is excited that his first track is sung by Shreya Ghoshal. 

The 18-year-old musician says, "A renowned singer like her singing for my first is like a dream come true".

Son of ace music director V Harikrishna, Adi hails from a family of musicians. His mother Vani, an established musician herself is also the granddaughter of veteran composer GK Venkatesh. 

Growing up, Adi always knew his career choice. “While I always wanted to become a musician, my father suggested I become a programmer. I’m giving that a thought too,” says Adi.

Thanking KISS director AP Arjun for giving him his debut, Adi says, “All credit goes to Arjun anna without whom, this wouldn’t have been possible.”

Narrating how he got a chance to compose a song for KISS, which has his father Harikrishna as the music director, Adi says, "One day Arjun anna was at home and my dad was busy.  The director gave me the lyrics and asked me whether I wanted to try my hands at composing. Without much thought, I started working on my piano.”

Adi, who started studying music after class 10, is currently studying in Stephen’s College of Film Music under the guidance of Ravi Kashyap and Praveen Duth .
