B-boy Bravo, the co-founder of Breakguruz, a national B-boy network, performs B-boy-the dance element of the band. Jeeva KRS is the producer (of beats) BBB is the beatbox machine who also happens to be India’s first harmonica beatboxer and does rap on the sidelines Siraj is the singer Neil plays the piano and guitar and Adhi sings and raps. The latest entry is Siraj, who joined the group through a talent hunt they organised, looking for a new voice to represent them in their official election anthem for Tamil Nadu earlier this year.

When Adhi went to judge a college show in 2009, he spotted Bharadwaj Balaji (or BBB). “It is a network that helps connect all hip-hop artistes and we eventually formed a band out of the group,” he explains. It turned out to be him and he encouraged me to start Hiphop Tamizha,” says Adhi. “I used to send some of my underground music releases to Yogi, and one day, I received a call from him, but I thought someone was playing a prank on me.
