Sanjay Subrahmanyam

Sanjay Subrahmanyam's style always strikes a balance between his creative impulses and the imperative needs of kutcheri. No doubt he is able to capture unmistakably the grandeur of Carnatic music. His music, totally devoid of sentimentality, is absolutely sensual. His powers of improvisation are evident in his raga essays and laya exercises. Initially trained in violin and vocal by Sri Lakshminarayana, he switched to vocal music and learnt from Smt. Rukmani Rajagopalan. He had advanced training from Calcutta KS Krishnamurthi. He has performed extensively in India and has received several awards and titles, notable among them being Yuva Kala Bharathi in 1991, "SANSKRITI" Award in 1997, Yogam Nagaswamy award from The Music Academy in 1998, Nada Kala Bhushanam from Shanmukhananda Sabha, Delhi in 1999, Kalki Krishnamoorthy Memorial award in 1999. He has traveled to Malaysia, Singapore, Australia, Muscat, France, Switzerland and of course USA & Canada.

Seshagopalan, Sanjay Subrahmanyam, P. Unnikrishnan and TV Sankaranarayanan.

He received his training from Kumbhakonam Rajappa. He has toured the USA more than 12 times and all over the world where people love Carnatic music.
