Shahul Hameed (Tamil:ஷாகுல் ஹமீது) was an Indian playback singer who sang predominantly in Tamil movies under the music direction of the Academy winner A. R. Rahman. His association with the composer dates back to the TV jingles in the 1980s.
Shahul used to be a regular TV show singer in the 1980s. He has sung more than 30 songs in Isaithendral and other shows. He was highly noticed on the television in the year 1982. During this time, he met A. R. Rahman who was also popular in composing TV jingles. Their first association was for the album Deen Isai Mazhai , a Muslim Devotional album in 1989. From then, there was no looking back for this unique voiced singer. There were some major hit songs from this combination in the early 1990s which remain unparalleled even today.
Shahul passed away in a gruesome car crash in the year 1998 near Chennai city. His death was a complete shocker to the entire Tamil music industry and A. R. Rahman in particular.
