Career

Suresh Peters began performing on stages during his school and college days.^{[citation needed]} He pursued a professional path in the music industry at a relatively young age. Following his college education, he briefly explored the film advertising domain, particularly in the film department.

He participated in sessions and live shows alongside established musicians. He contributed as a member of rock band "Nemesis Avenue." The pivotal point came when A.R. Rahman initiated his first film project, "Roja," and Peters joined him as an assistant. During the composition of the film "Gentleman," Rahman offered Peters his first chance as a playback singer, featuring him in the song "Chikku Bukku Railae."

Peters and Rahman went on to collaborate on a series of songs including "Urvasi Urvasi," "Pettai Rap," "Chandralekha," "Oru Koodai Sunlight," and "Super Police". Peters then embarked on his journey as a composer. His first major venture was an independent Tamil music album titled "Minnal".^{[citation needed]}

Peters' debut as a music director was for a Tamil feature film, "Coolie". Subsequently, he ventured into the Malayalam film industry with "Punjabi House" in 1998.^{[citation needed]} Peters' work extended to five Indian languages—Hindi, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, and Tamil.

Peters has solidified his identity as an independent music artist through Tamil albums, including "Minnal," "Oviyum," "Yengirindho," and "Kaathirupen." Peters remains a drummer, contributing to sessions and live performances.
