"3:27am. I've spent 3 hours finding the right kick drum... I ended up going back to the first kick, someone save me."
London-based composer and multi-genre producer Kavi 'Shinra' Amalakumar has spent over a decade architecting the sound of modern music. His work spans an expansive sonic range — from traditional classical scores and dark synthetic soundscapes to heavy-hitting hip hop beats, polished K-pop, and rock. By bridging the gap between chart-topping pop precision and immersive cinematic storytelling through film scoring, sync licensing, and major-label artist production, he has shaped tracks for artists like Aitch and Niki Kini while scoring upcoming independent features including The Unexpected and Fantastic. Whether crafting a bespoke score or producing a radio-ready hit, his approach remains centred on technical excellence and raw human character.
