Early life Mukesh Mohamed was born P. A. Peer Mohamed in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. His parents are from Seythunganallur village, Tirunelveli district, Tamil Nadu. He was actively participating in singing competitions during his school days. His teacher had foreseen his future in music, and advised him to enter into film industry. Mukesh Mohamed was determined to make a career in the film industry as it was his passion since his childhood. His father, N.P. Abdul Kadar, who was also a musician, trained Mukesh Mohamed to sing some of the toughest classical songs sung by the legendary playback singers including K. B. Sundarambal, T. R. Mahalingam, T. M. Soundararajan and Sirkazhi Govindarajan, and encouraged him to learn music properly. Mukesh Mohamed, then, started learning music from Dinakaran, a music composer, who changed his name to Mukesh.

Singing career Mukesh Mohamed started his singing career in Dinakaran's musical orchestra. In the beginning, he used to sing a number of popular Tamil devotional songs. He later participated in different musical competitions organised by TV channels. In 2002, he was adjudged as the best singer of the year for "Raja Geetham", a musical competition conducted by Raj TV, and received the award in the presence of legendary musicians including M. S. Viswanathan, S. P. Balasubrahmanyam and A. R. Rahman. This reward gave him an entry to film industry. Mukesh Mohamed's debut in playback singing was for the song "Thee Kuriviyai" in the 2004 Tamil film Kangalal Kaidhu Sei. A. R. Rahman composed the music. He has sung a number of songs for many popular music directors including Ilaiyaraaja, Srikanth Deva, Bharadwaj, Devi Sri Prasad, D. Imman, Harris Jayaraj, Sirpy, Karthik Raja, Kannan and Yuvan Shankar Raja. Some of Mukesh Mohamed's hit songs include "Enn Theivathaikku" (Sivakasi), "Love Letter" (Kanna Laddu Thinna Aasaiya), “Azhage Azhage” (Oru Kal Oru Kannadi) and Kacheri Kacheri (Kacheri Arambam).
