Bhakkiyaraj (31 October 1980 – 2 September 2022), popularly known by his stage name, Bamba Bakya, was an Indian Tamil^[1] playback singer and musician. He predominantly worked alongside music composer A. R. Rahman on numerous collaborations in films.^[2] He received the name Bamba Bakya after A. R. Rahman asked him to sing songs for him just like popular South African musician Bamba. It later went onto become a stage name as well as an identity of him. He was well known for his unique baritone.^[3]

A. R. Rahman included him in the 2010 film Raavanan, during which he sang in the song "Kedakkari" (at the time he was credited as Bhakyaraj).

In 2024 A. R. Rahman revealed that with the help of AI, voice models of Bamba Bakya and other Late singer Shahul Hameed were used in composing the track 'Thimiri Yezhuda' from the upcoming film Lal Salaam.^[4]
