'''Harish Raghavendra''' (born 7 January 1976) is an Indian Tamil vocalist and actor from Chennai, India. He is the son of photographer P.V Raghavendran. Harish is best known for his songs like ''Hey Azhagiya Theeyee'' from [[Minnale]], ''Nirpadhuve Nadapadhuve'' from [[Barathi]], ''Devathayai Kanden'' from [[Kadhal Kondein]], ''Sakkarai Nilave'' from [[Youth (2002 film)|Youth]], ''Melliname Melliname'' from [[Shahjahan]] and ''Anbe Enn Anbe'' from [[Dhaam Dhoom]]. He has also acted in a few Tamil movies. He debuted as an actor in ''[[Vikadan]]'' directed by [[Arun Pandiyan]] in which he played the lead role. He also played a brother-role for [[Ajith Kumar]] in ''[[Thirupathi]]'', which was written and directed by [[Perarasu]].

== Career ==
[[File:Harish Raghavendra 2019-02-23.jpg|thumb|250px|Harish Raghavendra at a musical event at Atlanta in 2019]]
Harish officially made his debut into the music industry as a singer at the age of 18. His first song was a Telugu song for the movie ''Panjaram'' and he subsequently sung 'Vaa Saghi' for the movie ''Arasiyal''. He was in his final year of college at the time. After that, he was not really active in the music industry. In the meantime, he graduated from [[Ramakrishna Mission Vivekananda College|Vivekananda College]] with a degree in commerce and masters in mass communication and journalism. He took up software engineering as well. Software engineering would have been his main career if not for music. Being a police officer was also one of his ambitions when he was studying.

He re-entered the music industry through the well known classical song ''Nirpadhuve Nadapathuve'' from the movie [[Bharathi (2000 film)|Bharathi]]. The music was composed by [[Ilaiyaraja]]. The song became a massive hit back in the year 2000 and it brought him fame along with Tamil Nadu State award. This was the time he changed his name from Harish to Harish Raghavendra, per Ilaiyaraja's recommendation. Before he could even join the software industry, ''Ye Azhagiye Theeye'' from [[Minnale]] scored a roaring success back to back. Since then, he has sung over 3000 songs in various Indian language movies, predominantly Tamil. He has worked for most of the well known music composers that include [[Yuvan Shankar Raja]], [[Vidyasagar (music director)|Vidyasagar]], [[G. V. Prakash Kumar]], [[D. Imman]], [[Vijay Antony]], [[Harris Jayaraj]] & many others. His charming sharp voice has always been a point of attraction for many music directors, so he managed to sing in various languages such as Tamil (his main passion), Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam & Hindi. He has sung some devotional songs as well. After 'Panjaram', he sang for the Telugu film ''Neetho'' under Vidyasagar's baton. Since then he has sung many more songs in Telugu, including films like 'Cheli', 'Priyadarshini' and [[Ghajini (2005 film)|Ghajini]].

Harish's latest project include a song about Mahakavi Bharathi – Engal Tamizhe (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PdcG3WTQ94) and the translation, composition and rendition of the Tamil classic Thirukkural (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xE1mIRCEgHg)

Having sung many classic hits for the major music directors, Harish is considered to be one of the leading professional singers in Tamil Music Industry. He has also judged many reality shows along with few other famous singers. Harish has also done a number of live concerts in various countries as well. Lately, he also grabbed a Diploma in Yoga in [[Krishnamacharya]] style.

His words about [[Ilayaraja]]: "Illaiyaraja is a hard taskmaster and a perfectionist. It's really tough singing for him, because he does not let go till he gets the result he wants. It's like a training ground for any singer, and singing for him".<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20100129155614/http://archives.chennaionline.com/interviews/hraghav.asp]</ref>
