He sang about election violence, corruption, unemployment and poverty.

He was very honest in his creations,” said Aruna Gunaratna, a film critic and editor ofSunil was born in 1952 and was one of 10 children. His father, an ex-soldier, started a band that Sunil and his brothers later took over. Most of their songs became hits.
