Early life

Sushin attended St.Joseph's Higher Secondary School, Thalassery and Mambaram higher secondary school in Thalassery. His father, being a musician began teaching him to play the keyboard at a very young age. He first performed on stage at age 9.[citation needed] Sushin participated in youth festivals and won a number of state awards during his school years.[citation needed] He went on to study engineering in Sri Sidhartha Institute of technology but dropped out to pursue his career in music.[citation needed] He shifted to Chennai to explore opportunities in the film music.[5] He joined with Music director Deepak Dev[6] and worked with him for over two years.

Sushin worked as a keyboard programmer under the composer Rasheed for the latter's album song, "Akalukayano," which became popular with kerala audience and was one of the trending songs at the time.[citation needed] Sushin joined with The Down Troddence, which was originally started as a home studio project by musicians Varun and Munz in 2008, on the keyboard. In 2010, The Down Troddence[7] performed live as a six-piece band with Sushin. Their debut album How Are You? We Are Fine, Thank You was released in 2014.[citation needed] Sushin was nominated for Best Keyboardist award (critics' choice and popular choice) in Rolling Stone Metal Awards 2015, for the album.[8][9]

Career as music composer

Sushin started his film career at the age of 19 with Deepak Dev as his mentor. Assisting Deepak Dev, he has programmed background scores for over forty-five Malayalam, Tamil and Telugu movies in the span of four years.[citation needed] He composed music for the short film Oru kutti chodyam directed by Ganesh Raj in 2012. In 2013, Music director Rex Vijayan invited Sushin to programme the background score for Neelakasham Pachakadal Chuvanna Bhoomi. Sushin also sang a song, "Thaazhvaram,"[10] for the film. Meeting Rex was a turning point for Sushin as Rex encouraged Sushin to compose the background score for his next film Sapthamashree Thaskaraha in 2014. It was his first independent project as a composer. He also sang the track "Kayi Ethum Doorathonde" for the film. Thereafter, he composed the background score for Lord Livingstone 7000 Kandi in 2015. His next work was Kismath, directed by debutant Shanavas Bavakkutty. He composed the background score and one song ("Kissa Pathiyil") for the film; both were well received.[10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] In 2016, he composed music for the short film Vicky, directed by Manu Joseph. His next release was Ezra, in early 2017, a horror mystery film directed by Jay.K. He composed the score and two songs ("Thambiraan" and "Irulu Neelum Raave") for Ezra. Both the songs and background score were well received.[18][19][20][21] He also did background scores for films Villain and The Great Father in 2017. In 2018, Sushin composed songs and score for three movies - Maradona, Lilli and Varathan. The songs and soundtrack from Varathan went on to become top hits.[22][23] Kumbalangi Nights and Virus were Sushin's 2019 releases. Sushin's compositions for both films were widely acclaimed and appreciated.[9][24][25][26] He co-composed background score with Jackson Vijayan for Anwar Rasheed's Trance, which was released in February 2020.[27] His next release was Kappela. He also did background score for Kilometers and Kilometers, starring Tovino Thomas, in 2020.

Sushin's 2021 releases were Malik, Kurup and Minnal Murali. The song "Raheemun Aleemun" from Malik sung by Hida Chokkad, an eight-year-old girl from Malappuram became an instant hit and went viral on internet.[28][29] Both Sushin's music and Hida's soulful rendition gained much appreciation.[30] The song "Theerame Theerame" also gained top positions among the year's hit charts.[31] The multilingual crime thriller Kurup got a mixed response from critics, but Sushin's music and score were highly appreciated.[32][33] The soundtrack album for the superhero movie Minnal Murali also went on to become very popular. Sajin Srijith of The New Indian Express stated the soundtrack as "instantly addictive" and "carries the goodness of western retro hits".[34] He also composed four songs for the movie, which were also well received.[35]

His first release of 2022 is Bheeshma Parvam, directed by Amal Neerad starring Mammootty. The soundtrack album for Bheeshma Parvam turned to be one of the biggest hits in Sushin's career, especially the track "Parudeesa" receiving highly positive reviews from critics.[36][37] The New Indian Express stated that "Sushin Shyam’s instantly immersive music alternates between various genres, from classical to contemporary and, at one point, evokes one of the spaghetti-western scores of Ennio Morricone."[38] The critic Veeyen[39] wrote, "Sushin Shyam’s arresting musical score leaves an extensive impression, and the upbeat track Parudeesa stands out from among the lot."[40]
