Early life and career

Sesha was brought up in Chennai and attended Padma Seshadri Bala Bhavan, KK Nagar and was inspired to become a lyricist after listening to songs by his favourite composer, Ilaiyaraaja and works of lyricist Vaali.[2] As a youth, he contributed regularly as a writer to his school's magazine and also worked on The Hindu's youth publications.[3] To begin his career, at 19, he worked with his friend Karthikeya Murthy on composing a song for a TV serial title song.

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). Sesha has also worked on several songs composed by the Vivek-Mervin duo and Vijay Antony.[4]

Sesha made his acting debut in the music video "Suzhaluren" directed by Rajath Ravishankar, composed by Leon James.[5]
