Sean Roldan

Raghavendra Raja Rao, known by his stage name Sean Roldan is an Indian musician who has worked on Carnatic, independent and film soundtracks for the Tamil film industry. He rose to fame after gaining critical acclaim for his work in Balaji Mohan's Tamil-Malayalam bilingual Vaayai Moodi Pesavum / Samsaaram Aarogyathinu Haanikaram in 2014.

Roldan was born to the renowned mridangam player Srimushnam V. Raja Rao and Padma, the daughter of novelist Sandilyan. He began a career in music composing and working on Carnatic tracks before venturing into independent Tamil music with his band Sean Roldan & Friends. His music draws heavy inspiration from Tamil composer Ilaiyaraaja, but criticism remains that his music does not sound fresh and individualistic.
