Mr. Dharshana Ruwan Dissanayake, the renowned Sri Lankan awards winning music composer hails from a beautiful pastoral hamlet in Polonnaruwa.
He feels that his journey delving into the depths of music is only the beginning. He is a historical wanderer. A wanderer who believes in an infinite musical excursion. More precisely, a musical wanderer who wanders in search of perfection. An explorer, a disciple of the universe. He feels that an artist’s mission is the liberation of the humankind to open humanity up to the universe and see the glory it beholds. He struggles for the perfection of humanity, by way of the perfection of universal music. That is his lifelong mission. Film directing is the latest dimension he has experimented with during his very difficult journey as an award-winning musician at home and abroad. He firmly believes that cinema is the epitome of modern art, full of images, tones, meanings and aesthetics. That is why he says that he will continue to do further research on film directing. Accordingly, father, the famer, film is his first film direction. As a musician, he has composed over 1000 songs for many local and foreign singers.
