Subramaniya Iyer was born in [[Thiruvaiyaru]] in [[Thanjavur]] district of present-day [[Tamil Nadu]]. His family had a long history of musical involvement - his father Bharatam Vaidyanatha Iyer was adept at both music and Sastra and his grandfather Panchanada Sastri was the court musician in the court of Serfoji Maharaja of [[Thanjavur]]. Subramaniya Iyer learnt music from his uncle, Melattur Ganapati Sastri and later under [[Manambuchavadi Venkatasubbayyar]] who was a disciple of [[Tyagaraja]] himself.

Subramaniya Iyer spent a long time in Chennapatnam ([[Chennai]]). This gave Subramaniya Iyer the prefix to his name. Many of his students such as [[Mysore Vasudevachar]], [[Poochi Srinivasa Iyengar]], Bhairavi Kempegowda and [[Tiger Varadachariar]] became famous composers and vocalists.
