A.R. Rahman

Oscar winning music director A.R. Rahman wanted to become a computer engineer when he was a kid, as technology and electronic gadgets fascinated him.

When he was 13, Rahman made a debut on TV in “Wonder Balloon” where he got popular for being the kid who could play four keyboards at once.

Rahman didn't complete his schooling. He was asked to leave school because of poor attendance at the age of 15. A street in Markham, Ontario, Canada, has been named in his honour in November 2013.
