    S P BALASUBRAMANIAM BIOGRAPHY

    Sripathi Panditaradhyula Balasubrahmanyam is a prolific Indian singer and actor. He is also known as S. P. B. and Balu in the media.

    Early Life And Background

    Balasubrahmanyam was born into an orthodox Telugu Brahmin family in Konetammapeta near Nellore, Andhra Pradesh. He is the second son in a family of three sons and five daughters. His father S. P. Sambamurthy was a well-known exponent of Harikatha and his sister S.P. Sailaja is a former actress-singer in Tollywood, married to Subhalekha Sudhakar. He has a daughter, Pallavi and son, S. P. B. Charan.

    Career

    Balusubrahmanyam took to singing as a hobby during his childhood. He developed an interest in music very early in his life, and had studied notations and learnt to play instruments such as harmonium and flute on his own while listening to his father. His father wanted Balu to become an engineer; this brought him to Ananthpur, where he enrolled for the Engineering course in JNTU. Later, he discontinued the course due to typhoid and then joined AMIE. Meanwhile, he also pursued his hobby and won awards at many singing competitions. There, he was identified as a good singer in annual college programmes. Some friends recommended him to sing in Madras and provided him with referrals.

    In 1964, a Madras-based Telugu Cultural Organisation, organized a music competition for amateur singers. Balu won the first prize, and that proved to be a turning point in his life. Music director SP Kodandapani took him under his wing. Offers then poured in from Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam movies.

    Band

    Before he became a full-fledged cinema singer, SPB was the leader of a light music troupe that comprised of:

    * Anirutta, who was working in Corporation and was the harmonium artist.

    * Ilaiyaraaja who joined the group as a Guitarist and then moved over to harmonium after Anirutta and became busy in his regular job.

    * Baskar, Ilaiyaraaja’s brother who was in charge of Percussion.

    * Gangai Amaran another brother of Ilaiyaraaja who was the Guitarist after Ilaiyaraaja moved over to Harmonium.

    Playback Singing

    Balasubrahmanyam made his debut in film music as a singer in Dec 15, 1966, with Sri Sri Sri Maryada Ramanna, a film scored by his mentor Kodandapani. He has sung more than 40,000 songs since then in more than 5 different Indian languages, including Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Hindi and Malayalam. He holds the world record in the Guinness Book of World Records for having sung the most number of song recordings by any singer (the record for a female singer is held by Lata Mangeshkar).

    A gifted singer, he is highly regarded for his incredible vocal range, deep rich voice, and mastery of style, technique and control. These qualities allowed him express across various genres of Indian music, and he has been highly sought-after by many of India’s film music composers. His approach to singing is methodical; he perseveres to understand the full meaning of the songs that he sings (many of which are very poetic) and the settings in which these songs are couched in order to make it most effective. S.P.B., though was very young, started singing for many different language films. As he became very busy, at times, he used to sing even 17 songs in 12 hours at the recording theatre. He has also sung in Sanskrit and some regard his pronunciation of this language to be very good. Most of the introduction songs in Chiranjeevi and Rajinikanth films are sung by SPB. Most people feel that Balasubrahmanyam’s voice most suits Kamal Haasan. Sometimes, people cannot even figure out if it is Kamal singing or Balu singing or even Kamal talking or Balu talking.

    He virtually monopolised playback singing for more than 30 years in the Telugu, Kannada and Tamil cinema industries. His contemporary Dr. K.J.Yesudas monopolised the Malayalam music industry. SPB sang only a few songs in Malayalam. Although Yesudas’ voice was regarded more suitable for sad songs in Tamil, SPB has also sung some evergreen sad songs in Tamil such as ‘Naanum unthen uravai’,’Nenjukkulle’ and ‘Kuyilappudichu’. He has hosted popular TV shows in Telugu called Paadutha Theeyaga on E-TV, Paadalani Undi on MAA-TV , and a kannada show Ede Thumbi Haaduvenu on ‘E-TV Kannada’ and Tamil show ‘Ennodu Paattu Paadungal’ on JAYA-TV.

    Achievements

    * Has recorded over 38,000 plus songs in a span of 40 years, which include film songs and devotional numbers recorded by various recording companies of the country. It’s a world record which will be soon entering into the Guinness Book of World Records

    * Has recorded 21 songs in Kannada for the composer Upendra Kumar in Bangalore from 9.00 a.m. to 9.00 p.m. on February 8, 1981, which is a record.

    Nithyashree Venkataramanan Wiki, Biography, Songs, Images, Age, Indian Idol Junior

    Nithyashree Venkataramanan is very gorgeous and talented singer who has a huge fan base for her melodious and unique voice. She came to limelight after participated in a most popular show titled as Indian Idol junior season 2015. Nithyashree Venkataramanan is present in the list of Top 5. In very short time, she became a popular female singer with her lovely voice, she was also a runner contestant of Indian idol junior 2015. Check out below for Nithyashree Venkataramanan Wiki, Biography, Songs, Family, Age, Indian Idol Junior

    The young singer on her Indian Idol experience, career in music and more

    Nithyashree Venkataramanan is busy brushing up on Accountancy for her upcoming board examinations. She hates the subject and she knows she’s already missed almost four months of lessons in the last year.
    That’s when she was on the sets of the popular Indian Idol, where she was eventually named runner-up. Nithyashree, the first contestant from Tamil Nadu to reach the finals, is already popular in the musical circuit in Chennai, thanks to her stint in Airtel Super Singer Junior. She also recently received the Young Achiever Award of the Rotary Club of Madras.
    The Indian Idol experience seems to have taught the 16-year-old a lot. “All the participants stayed in the same hotel; we had no television, no telephone,” she recalls, “It was all very systematic and strict; our practice sessions were closely monitored.”
    It was those 78 days in Mumbai that brought Nithyashree, a happy-go-lucky girl from Anna Nagar, out of her comfort zone. The language was an issue; she struggled with Hindi. “I was the only person who spoke English… so much so that everybody started calling me ‘Miss English’. I had to work a lot with Anand Sharma sir and Anuj sir to correct my pronunciation.”
    Her musical journey started when she was quite young — four, to be precise — when she corrected a tune sung by her mother. “Amma was super excited,” she recalls. “She immediately called my father, who took off from office and came home. There was major excitement.”
    It didn’t stop there. Her parents immediately started training her in Carnatic music; in a year, the five-year-old was part of her father’s band.
    Her association with Tamil musical reality show Super Singer brought her into the limelight.
    Again, she was young — just nine — and in a category (six to 15 years) with stiff competition, but she came through as one of the favourites. “There was a lot of learning involved; I had a nasality in my voice that voice coach Ananth sir helped me get rid of,” she states.
    Soon, film offers came in. Yuvan Shankar roped her in for a song in Avan Ivan and Dheena got her to sing four songs in Jamai. “My role model is Asha Bhosle; she is such a versatile singer and can handle any genre that comes her way. I want to imbibe that quality.”
    Also on her wishlist is getting on stage for a full-fledged classical concert. “That has been one of amma’s dreams too,” she says, “But she wants me to be fully trained before I take that step.”
    One of the biggest challenges for Nithyashree, now a performer too, is the pressure of being a professional singer at such a young age. “Usually, when my friends are playing, I am practising… but I feel that’s okay because I love what I do,” says the Class XII student of SBOA School and Junior College. A fine music-life balance is something Nithyashree has to work on in the future. For now, her concentration is on getting the balance sheet right.
