Monday, 08 November 2010
AR Rahman is staying 20 days of a month in US in an average and as of now he is putting himself in hotels. February this year, he started looking for a suitable house to buy and he has bought one now...
Music Maestro and double Oscar-winner AR Rahman is indeed making Hollywood his second home. Rahman has bought a posh apartment in Los Angeles, one of the costliest cities in the world. He is the only Indian composer to own a house in Los Angeles.

Rahman has also designed how he wants his new home to look. That's not all, the composer has converted his new apartment into a state of-the-art recording studio. In fact, Rahman's now does his Hollywood projects and also fine tunes music for his world tour from his Los Angeles address.

"Due to his constant trips to the USA (in this month alone Rahman must have flown to the US seven times while in the last couple of months, he must have gone there at least 20 times) it was convenient for Rahman to have a house than live in hotels," confirms Rahman's close aide.

The aide reveals, "Rahman is always hard pressed for time. So, he decided that having an apartment cum studio would be very beneficial. He wanted to have a setting like he does in his Chennai home in which he also has a studio. When Rahman composes his music, he does not really move around. He likes to keep to himself and wait for the inspiration. So, his house is more like an office and a studio with basic amenities of a house thrown in."
