He composed music for Tamil films like his father Ilaiyaraaja. He began his career at the age of 16, when he composed the film music for _Aravindhan_. Then after a long break he composed for "Thulluvatho Ilamai" in the year 2001. In 15 years, Yuvan Shankar Raja has worked on over 100 films. He is particularly known for his use of western music elements and often credited with having introduced Hip hop to the Tamil film and music industry and having started the "era of remixes" in Tamil Nadu.
