Stephen Devassy

Stephen Devassy, man, what a ride his musical journey’s been. The guy’s fingerprints are all over some of the coolest movies in recent years. Take Neerali (2018)—honestly, if you haven’t seen it, you’ve missed out on some seriously tight sound design. Stephen’s music has this way of sliding right under your skin, making the story pop off the screen. He’s not just tossing notes around; there’s a real vibe, like he’s painting with sound. Then there’s Pakalum Paathiravum (2023). That one? The soundtrack just sneaks up on you. One minute you’re just watching; the next, you’re humming something haunting and you’re not even sure where it came from. Stephen’s good at that. He doesn’t have to show off, but you can feel his style in every beat. The music’s textured, sometimes a little moody, but always on point. And, oh boy, Kannappa (2025) is on the horizon. People are buzzing—like, if Stephen’s attached, you know the score’s gonna slap. He’s worked in different languages too, never boxed himself in. What’s cool is, he doesn’t just do background music—he builds the whole atmosphere. You remember scenes because of his melodies. Not many composers pull that off these days. Basically, if you see his name in the credits, you know you’re in for a treat—musically, at least.
