# 4 Musics

4Musics is an Indian music composers group from Kerala consisting of four core members: Jim Jacob, Eldhose Alias, Biby Mathew, and Justin James. The group was founded in 2003. Their debut album, Mazhathulli, was released in 2007. Following the release of their album, they entered the Malayalam cinema film industry as music directors in the movie Juzt Married. The group mainly focuses on folk, melodic, and Indian pop musical styles.
They are also the founders of NHQ (Noise Headquarters) recording studio in Cochin. The band became famous through Oppam, a movie released in 2016. A song in the movie "Minungum Minnaminunge" became popular on social media and YouTube.

## Earlier days

During 2003 Biby and Jim started doing compositions together. They started off doing Christian devotional songs. Both of them were members of Azhakam St Mary's Jacobite Church choir. Together they did their first devotional Album “Karunardrasneham” in 2003 marked their debut. Soon they joined in a devotional band formed by Sanil Peter, where they met Jimson James (PRESENT MEMBER OF 4 MUSICS) who brought the idea of starting a western Band named (9-1-B-C).

## 2003–2007

Mid-2003 they formed the Band 9-1-B-C with 10 members and thus joined Eldhose Alias and Justin James (brother of Jimson James) to the Band. They started off doing shows in and around Ernakulam, also performed in Kairaly channel in 2004 for the program named “CONFUSION” which marked their first television experience. Later by 2006 the band got Split as Jim and Jimson went to Ireland, Justin went to New Zealand and Eldhose went to Bangalore for their Higher studies. During those days biby was fully active in music by composing music for 2 devotional Albums (SAMARPPANAM, UNNI GANAPATHY) also he joined with Mr. Binoy and Babu Varghese (DAVID's HARP Member) started doing karaoke shows.

## 2008–2015

In 2008 the band reunited and did their First Musical Album named “MAZHATHULLI”. During the time of Mazhathulli band members Jim-Biby-Eldhose- Justin together did the composition of all songs in the album and Lyrics of 8 out of 10 songs was done by Biby and Eldhose. That made them the thought of working together as music composers where these guys realised their outlook towards music and future life in music. Unfortunately, they couldn't release the album which put them in a very difficult situation to move on in music. So they got split again.
After completing Sound engineering and Music technology from the prestigious Windmill Lane Recording Studios/Pulse college from Ireland in 2010, Jim started NHQ studios in Panampilly Nagar Cochin, which marked the turning point in 4 Musics life. They got a chance to perform in Asianet youth club program where the band reunited and done a few own compositions. The program director Jibin and the sound engineer Mr. Sony identified the talent in guys and recommended them to their first movie “JUZT MARRIED” in 2012 directed by Shri Sajan Johny and written by Benny Esthac. Unfortunately, the movie got released only in 2015.

## 2016–present

The movie got released in 2016 and the songs of the movie went Viral all over the world. 4 Musics won many awards for the songs in Oppam, followed by the hits in VILLAIN 2017 again with Mohanlal and now in 2019 with 2 super hits “ ITTIMANY MADE IN CHINA” with Mohanlal and BROTHERS DAY with the young superstar/Director Prithviraj Sukumaran.
