A discovery and celebration of one such voice is Padmashri Sripathi Panditharadhyula Balasubrahmanyam. His music transcends all barriers – linguistic, geographical and chronological.

Blessed with an adorable voice and impeccable musical skills, SPB was never trained to be a singer. A young, Telugu-speaking lad from Andhra Pradesh, like any other boy his age was studying to pursue a career in Engineering. He had a natural flair for singing and participated in most of the singing contests from college. In one such contest, he was spotted by his mentor the late, Sri. S.P. Kodandapani. The rest, as they say, is history.

Some trivia about SPB:

  • He has recorded over 36,000 songs in a span of 35 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
  • He has recorded 17 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 again a record in itself

    • With a magnetic stage presence and passionate harmonic interludes, heenthralls the audience with an exceptional performances, only inspiring other singers to match his emotion and energy levels. Make sure you don’t miss a chance you experience his magic along with other prominent singers like SP Sailaja, Sree Krishna & Kalpana Raghavender in Concert this April.
