Ko Sesha is an Indian lyricist and dialogue writer working on Tamil language films. After making his debut in Kanchana 2 (2015), he received critical acclaim for his work in Oh My Kadavule (2020).[1]
Sesha was brought up in Chennai and did his schooling in Padma Seshadri Bala Bhavan. He was a part of the school’s theatre group, writing scripts for, acting in and directing school plays. As a teen, he was inspired by the works of lyricist Vaali.[2] As a youth, he contributed regularly as a writer to The Hindu's youth publications.[3]
Sesha then made his first film song "Vaaya En Veera" in Leon James's music in the successful Kanchana 2 (2015). Leon had been a junior of Sesha at school, and the pair regularly later collaborated for other films including Kavalai Vendam (2016), Veera (2018), LKG (2019) and Oh My Kadavule (2020). He has also worked on several songs composed by the Vivek-Mervin duo, Vijay Antony, Hiphop Tamizha and S. Thaman.[4]
