==Initial years==
He was a class singer even while at St Aloysius Primary School in the early 70s .
After graduating in commerce from [[Mangalore]] University, Guru Kiran started performing in orchestras in and around Mangalore as a singer and a keyboard performer.
 
He started off his musical career in 1994 as an assistant to the well known music director and lyricist [[V. Manohar]].
 
==Actor==
Gurukiran wanted to be an actor before he made his name as a Music Director in Sandalwood (a euphemism for Bengaluru-based Kannada film industry). Guru's first film was "Badkonji Kabithe" (Life is a poem), a Tulu language film, which incidentally happens to be his mother tongue. The Tulu language belongs to the Dravidian family of languages, and is widely spoken in Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts of Karnataka State and parts of Kasargod district of Kerala. Shanker Bekal was the cameraman of the film.
 
"Nishkarsha," a film directed by Sunil Kumar Desai who is a well-respected name in the Kannada film industry, was the highlight of his acting career before he decided to concentrate on his first love—music.
 
==Music director==
He had a chance to be a music director in "''[[A (Kannada film)|A]]''" directed by Upendra. Guru Kiran did his best, worked hard spent some sleepless nights to compose some fantastic songs for "''[[A (Kannada film)|A]]''". Success of P. Vasu's [[Apthamitra]] which again reinforced the name of Guru Kiran in the music composition.
[[Jogi (film)|Jogi]] released in 2005 was a mile stone in the career of Guru Kiran. The film's album audio sales before the release of the film is an all-time record in the Kannada film industry. This hit took him to Telugu Film Industry as music director for remake of same movie. He is also scoring music for [[Telugu language|Telugu]] movie ''[[Nagavalli (film)|Nagavalli]]'', which is the remake of blockbuster [[Kannada]] movie ''[[Aptharakshaka]]''.
