Prakash got attached to the music world quite at a young age. He started learning music at the age of six with Carnatic music. Later he also learnt western music and piano. He made his film debut through 2011 Tamil film, Rowthiram. The album was one of the best works of the year 2011. Rowthiram was dubbed to Telugu version also. The composer aims at quality rather than quantity, and his second film as a composer was released only in 2016 – Kalam. He couldn’t find a better script after the Telugu version of Rowthiram for the next four years. Though he received offers from small-budget films, he was not interested in taking them, as he got the first break through a big banner movie.
His effort was decent enough and raga based, and a new experiment in Tamil cinema. The popular song – “Anuvai Philanthaai” sung by Shweta Mohan and Abhay Jodhpurkar is based on raaga Hamsanadam. Its lovely lyrics were written by Kabilan Vairamuthu. The film also included the songs - "Puthu Puthu" and "Maayam Kaana Vaaraiyo". He also did the background score for the film.
