==Personal life and background==
While at studies, Uma had gone through her classical music training under Pazhani Vijayalakshmi. She participated in many inter-collegiate competitions and won several rewards and accolades.

==Career==

===Playback singing===

During Uma's engagement with Ramanan's stage shows, noted producer — cameraman, Janakiraman offered both of them a duet in his 1976 released Hindi film ''Play Boy''. The same pair got an offer to sing for the Tamil film ''Shri Krishna Leela'' in 1977 directed by [[A. P. Nagarajan]] and one of the last assignments of composer [[S. V. Venkatraman]]. In 1980, she sang for the [[A. V. Ramanan]] composed film ''Neerottam''. However, it was "Poongathave Thaal Thirava" song for the film ''[[Nizhalgal]]'' released in the same year and composed by [[Ilayaraja]] that brought her to the front running singers list. It gave her a big career break and she went on to record more than 100 songs with Ilayaraja alone.<ref name="hindu1"/> She has also sung for other music directors namely [[Vidyasagar (music director)|Vidyasagar]], [[Deva (composer)|Deva]] and [[Mani Sharma]].
