Known in the 70's in Sri Lanka as Paramesh Konezsh, MP Konezsh is one of two brothers who composed and produced the very first Tamil music record on the island of Sri Lanka. To this day, his music is found on the airwaves of Sri Lankan as well as other radio stations around the world.

While also being a music director at SLBC (Sri Lanka Broadcasting Corporation), MP Konezsh produced many hundreds of music tracks in Sri Lanka. The following are only some of his music.

In the 1980's while living in Germany, MP Konezsh (together with Ulagha Thamilar), conducted more than 30 live music shows across Europe. It was the largest live Tamil music orchestra in Europe, attracting thousands of Tamils from across Europe. The orchestra comprised of both Tamil & German musicians. Millions of dollars of funds were raised to support the Tamil people of Sri Lanka, who were living in severe conditions due to the start of the ethnic conflict. Mr. MP Konezsh dedicated many years of his life in Germany for this cause and purpose. During the late 1980's Mr. M P Konezsh opened Europe's first Tamil language school, operating on weekends and teaching music, language and religion. Within a short time, the school grew to hundreds of students. Today, there are many such schools in Europe, operating successfully for the benefit of Tamil students. Following that, he moved to Canada in 1990 and opened Canada's first Tamil music & radio studio, and then started "Radio Asia Canada", Canada's first daily Tamil radio show. It was aired for two hours a day on 530AM from Brampton, Ontario. Shortly after, The service expanded to becoming a full-time radio in Toronto, Montreal, the European nations, and finally Ottawa. In September of 2001, Mr. M P Konezsh opened Canada's very first Tamil television channel known as ITBC Television Canada. ITBC Television Canada made history by becoming the first Tamil language television channel in North America. Today, this channel continues to operate as TamilOne Television.

Mr. M P Konezsh has made a tremendous amount of contribution to the freedom of Tamils in Sri Lanka as well as to the Tamil musical world, and continues to do so. He has received many recognition awards from the government of Canada and Germany. We hope you enjoy some of the tracks on this site. If you have any questions or comments, please contact us.
