He has composed music for more than 475 movies[1] in Telugu and Kannada. The son of music director S. Rajeswara Rao, in early 1980s Koti teamed with Somaraju (Raj), son of T. V. Raju, and the resulting duo was known as Raj-Koti.[1] The duo composed music for about 180 films from their debut in 1983 till their separation in 1994. After the separation, Koti has composed music and background score for more than 300 movies. He won Nandi Award for Best Music Director for the film Hello Brother (1994).
