‘No more remix songs’ says Devi Sri Prasad

Young music composer Devi Sri Prasad says that from now on he will be concentrating on creating original scores than tuning remix songs.
‘I will do any remix songs only on director’s demand. Many people criticize that we are copying old songs. But American Band named Black eyed peas remixed Ilayaraj’s ‘Unakkum Enakkum Anandham’ out of inspiration not because they wanted to copy or didn’t have any other tunes. Most of the young generation musicians are inspired by old songs so I think there is no harm in remixing the song.

The musician has also acted in the lead along with Charmi in a Telugu flick. The Music director-Singer has a dozen of movies in his hands he is booked for this year throughout.
