Early life
editAs a child, Mujeeb was introduced to music by his family. His grandfather was a self-taught percussionist and his uncles used to sing with several musical troupes in Kerala. In an online interview, he mentioned A. R. Rahman as his primary inspiration to become a music producer. It was after listening to the soundtrack album of the Bollywood film Taal, at the age of 14, that he decided to create his own music.[3]
Career
editAn opportunity that came through his friend Asha G. Menon, to compose the title track of a television show titled Hridayaragam, kickstarted Mujeeb's career as a composer.[4]
Mujeeb received his first feature film opportunity in 2018 with Mandharam. In 2021, he composed the songs and background score for the National award winner Thinkalazhcha Nishchayam.[5]
