He started his music career as violinist in some music troupes, one of which was Sithara troup, from which he took the name Mohan Sithara.

He did orchestration for the film Thoovanathumbikal with Perumbavoor G. Raveendranath, which led to several hit songs. His first work as independent music director in the Malayalam film industry was the film Onnu Muthal Poojyam Vare (From One to Zero), for which he composed the famous song "Raree Rareeram Raro" (it was also the first song for G.
