Career

2020: Early Beginnings

In November 2020, Suntharesan released his first single, Losing My Mind. Suntharesan as an artist, was testing waters, trying to find his sound. With having zero experience with music and the industry it was a whole process that he had to spend time on. Vinnin's debut single, released by his label Winnin Records had music video directed by Mozzrr published on YouTube and Instagram. Vinnin later released his anthem, "Top Of The Game," his first studio-produced single which was added to the NBA 2K21 video game soundtrack. In this anthem, he motivates others with the upbeat-instrumental in the song and tells the story about his love for basketball and for his love for music. This single granted him a feature in The Toronto Star and The Scarborough Mirror. Suntharesan wanted to know more about the industry and discovered Yanchan and Shan Vincent De Paul when his dad showed him one of their Mrithangam Rap Episodes on YouTube that was sent in a WhatsApp group chat, and it became his goal to connect with him.

2021–present : Yearly releases and See Me Now

In 2021, Suntharesan released his singles "Way Back" in November and "Kulir Heart" in December.

Releasing singles, Suntharesan's main goal was to find his sound that was unique to only him. "Way Back" talks about how we must we must sometimes let go of people in our lives. We must retaliate against the superficial and toxic people in our lives. Vinnin said, " It is essentially a song I wrote to all the people who tried keeping me down in high school, a message to them and the world that I will keep pursuing whatever that makes me happy," hence the name Way Back as the title. "Kulir Heart" being his first Tamil/English mashup, talks about the emotions being cold-hearted from all the fake vibes in female energy and friends.

On July 20, 2022, Suntharesan released his single "Pain With The Game." He adds on to his previous release "Way Back" and talks about his backlash and hate received by various individuals. The experiences that he went through were shared through this song and during Pie Radio's Mango Masala show he mentions, "The events that I had went through ruined my mental health, I don't know why people really be hating and treat me the worst out of anyone, my high school years and pandemic was really traumatizing.

After connecting with Yanchan, on November 9, 2022, Vinnin released his collaborative song named, "See Me Now." Yanchan, being known for the blending of genres and styles such as Carnatic music, songs from Tamil and Hindi Cinema, shows his talents on this song, proven by the instruments used in the instrumental of this song. "See Me Now" talks about prospering and pushing through the tough times ("ups and downs") that people go through.
