Thaikkudam Bridge

Thaikkudam Bridge is a multi-genre Indian music band, originated from Kerala in 2013. The band achieved its first commercial success through the musical show Music Mojo, which used to be telecast on Kappa TV where they released their debut original composition, "Fish Rock". The song is also popularly known by the lyrics "Ayela, mathi, choora, kaari...". The track went viral on social media, getting them extensive fame. The band has won numerous awards, and has performed in over 600 shows across 25 countries as of 2024.

The band was conceived by Siddharth Menon and Govind Vasantha in 2013. The band’s name, proposed by Piyush Kapoor (ex-member), is derived from a bridge located in Kochi, Kerala. Prior to forming Thaikkudam Bridge, the members had individual careers as musical artists. The members of the band Siddharth Menon and Vian Fernandes were part of a band.

Following the band's commercial breakthrough and increased demand for live shows, members put their individual careers on hold and focused on the Thaikkudam Bridge.

Formed in 2013, they began making songs with the music Television channel Kappa TV. Their first YouTube release was the cover for Michael Jackson's song "Beat It" which was performed by their former member Piyush Kapoor as a tribute on Michael Jackson's birthday. Later, along with Music Mojo, they released Nostalgia, featuring melodies of the popular 80s and 90s Malayalam movie songs "Mandara Cheppundo", "Panchakkarikkaaya Thattil", "Allimalarkavil", and "Chinkarakinnaram". The track Nostalgia first went viral on social media.

On 30 August 2013, their debut original composition, "Fish Rock," was released during the Kappa TV's "Music Mojo" session. The song is also popularly known by the lyrics "Ayela, mathi, choora, kaari...". The song gained significant popularity on social media, particularly on YouTube, which led to their first commercial success. They were soon invited to perform at colleges and major events.

Following the success, they released their debut studio album Navarasam in 2015, featuring nine songs, on various themes such as political satire, social inequality and historic stories from the Mughal era. It is a multi-lingual studio album where the songs are in Malayalam, Tamil and Hindi languages. The music videos for the tracks "Aarachar", "One", "Sulthan" and the title track "Navarasam" were released and became popular among audience. Before the release of their debut album, they released their first independent single "Chathe" after the Music Mojo sessions with Kappa TV. Later, it was included in the album Navarasam.

In 2015, the band composed the song "Theevandi" to the soundtrack of the film "Haram". This marked their debut in composing music for a feature film. Starring Fahadh Faasil, the film was released on 20 February 2015.

In 2017, the band's co-founder, Siddharth Menon, took a hiatus from the group. This was followed by an official announcement of his departure to pursue a solo career.
