Musical career

Naveen has played for leading Indian film music composers such as A.R. Rahman, Ilayaraja, Pritam, Shankar–Ehsaan–Loy, Sajid–Wajid and Salim–Sulaiman. He has performed with musicians such as Sivamani, Louiz Banks, Mandolin Srinivas, and John McLaughlin. Eventually, Naveen moved to Mumbai to get chances to work with other composers in India. He has featured vocals in film songs by M.M. Keeravani and Deva, among others. Songs include "Kaadhal Sadugudu" in Mani Ratnam's Alaipaayuthey, and "Salam Gulamu" in Deva's Hello.

He created his own flute, which he calls the "Naveen Flute".[1] This flute features flute tone and the vibration of strings (through the placement of a string on the side of the flute).[2]

Naveen has received great attention for the instrumental orchestral piece, "Bombay Theme",[3] which AR Rahman composed and arranged for the film Bombay in 1995. Other popular songs that feature his flute interludes are Zara Zara (Rehna Hai Tere Dil Mein) and the Kal Ho Na Ho title track. He also performed with A.R. Rahman and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra at the Southbank Centre in London on 7 April 2010.[citation needed]
