Often credited with having introduced hip hop to the Tamil film and music industry, Yuvan has won two Filmfare Awards, four Vijay Awards and three Tamil Nadu State Film Awards.

In 1996, at the age of 16, Yuvan Shankar Raja began his musical career when he composed the film score for Aravindhan. He made his big break with the Thulluvadho Ilamai soundtrack (2001) after an initial battle, by the mid-2000s he emerged as one of the most sought-after composers of Tamil cinema. Within 15 years, Yuvan Shankar Raja has worked on over 100 films. Considered as a versatile composer, he is credited with having introduced Hip hop to the Tamil film and music industry. In 2015, he established his music label, U1 Records and by 2017, he started his film production studio, YSR Films. He has won two Filmfare Awards & is the only Indian composer to win the Cyprus International Film Festival Award.

He has explored various genres,[97] and experimented with new sounds. Yuvan Shankar Raja has not learnt Indian classical music,[107] although he has used complex swara patterns and carnatic rāgas in several films, including Nandha and Thulluvadho Ilamai. Critics have noted that Yuvan Shankar Raja's music has a "youthful character to it",[107] with his compositions in particular appealing to the younger generation. Yuvan Shankar Raja started the "era of remixes"; "Aasai Nooru Vagai" from Kurumbu (2004) is considered as the first remix in a Tamil film, following which several composers began remixing Tamil film songs from the 1970s and 80s. He has experimented with the fusion of old songs with his own original compositions, mixing and incorporating parts of them into his songs, e.g., "Theepidikka" from Arinthum Ariyamalum (2005) and "Enga Area" from Pudhupettai (2005). In 2010, he and his friend and fellow actor Silambarasan released the song "Evan Di Unna Pethan" from the film Vaanam (2011) as a single, which generated the trend of releasing single tracks from film soundtracks in Tamil cinema several months prior to the actual release,[108][109] although the first single in Tamil cinema had been released in 2001 already
