After becoming a songwriter, programmer, and multi-instrumentalist during his teenage years, he made his Bollywood debut as the film composer of Gautham Menon's Minnale in 2001. "Vaseegara," a highlight from the movie's accompanying soundtrack, became a popular single in India, and Jayaraj received the Filmfare Award for "Best Music Director â Tamil" for his work on the film later that year. He won the same award with 2003's Kaakha Kaakha, 2005's Anniyan, 2008's Vaaranam Aayiram, and 2009's Ayan. Meanwhile, he also scored national hits with songs like "Sutum Vizhi" (from 2005's Ghajini), "Ava Enna" (from 2008's Vaaranam Aayiram), "Nangaai" (from 2010's Engeyum Kaadhal), and "Enamo Aedho" (from 2011's Ko). Harris Jayaraj briefly toured in 2011 and 2012 with an ensemble production called Harris: On The Edge, joined by many of the playback singers who appeared on his Bollywood hits.
