Quick facts about Srinivas
Singer Srinivas is an engineer who turned to playback singing for Indian films. He studied in Kerala and was coached in carnatic music by his aunt.
Srinivas had developed a fine ear for music early in his life. He was born in Ambasamudram to Duraiswamy Iyengar and Lakshmi. Growing up in Trivandrum, he followed the bhajan groups, who walked by the streets, singing devotional songs during the month of Margazhi. He started listening to Semmangudi Srinivasa Iyer, M. D. Ramanathan and others through his aunt Mrs. Padmanarayanan, his guru in music. The soul-stirring magic of Kishore Kumar-R.D.Burman deeply influenced him in his childhood days. He went to complete his B.Tech from Bombay University, Department of Chemical Technology; during which he represented his university in youth festivals. After pursuing his career as a chemical engineer for 10 years, his passion for music got the better of him.
Career
In 1988, Srinivas approached music maestro Ilaiyaraaja, who was at the helm of tamil film music. He was offered the opportunity to work with Ilaiyaraaja, but however things did not work out,as he was suffering from severe throat infection that day. It was later in 1992, that the soundtrack of Mani Ratnam’s tamil film Roja reignited his dreams of playback singing. Mani Ratnam had introduced composer A. R. Rahman with this movie, who then went on to change the music scene on the Indian film industry. Encouraged by the use of fresh voices in Roja, Srinivas approached A. R. Rahman. Rahman took a liking to Srinivas’s rendition of Mehdi Hassan’s ghazals and offered him work at Chennai. In 1994, Srinivas shifted base to Chennai and started lending his voice to advertisement jingles and devotional albums. Learn more about Srinivas
