Shankar Mahadevan is one of the most successful singers and musicians India has witnessed in recent times. Belonging to the Tamil Iyer family, his inclination towards Hindustani classical and Carnatic music was obvious. His birth in Chembur, Maharashtra and his fluency in Tamil, Marathi and Hindi helped him in landing assignments within all these established film industries.
The musical journey for Shankar Mahadevan started at the early age of 4. While visiting his uncle’s house, he laid his hands on Harmonium and started playing. He learnt to play Veena by the age of 5. The inclination towards music didn’t stop him to get a degree in Engineering in Computer Science. He had a brief stint working in the software industry but his love of music prevailed and forced him to venture into music.
His first notable performance came in the form of the eponymous track of his first album Breathless released in the year 1998. Since then, there has been no looking back for Shankar delivering strong performances one after another. His powerful voice and years of hard work in learning classical music have certainly helped him in hitting notes that leave the audiences amazed. As a composer, Shankar Mahadevan believes that there is still a vast scope of experimentation with classical music in movies. Being part of the trio Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, these musicians feel that it's their inherent responsibility to acquaint Indian audiences with Carnatic music. There songs like ‘Mitwa’, ‘Sapno se bhare Naina’ are a few examples of such experimentations.
Mahadevan has worked with all the established musicians across all the film industries. His performances have earned him 4 national awards for playback singing.
