Early life[edit | edit source]

Singer Srinivas was born on 7 November in Ambasamudram in Tamil Nadu to Duraiswamy and Lakshmi.[citation needed]

Career[edit | edit source]

Template:Verify Srinivas began his musical journey in 1992 after being inspired by the soundtrack of Mani Ratnam's Tamil film "Roja," which featured fresh voices and sounds by debut composer A.R. Rahman.[citation needed] Encouraged by Rahman, Srinivas relocated to Chennai in 1993 to pursue music seriously. His first film song was for the Telugu movie "One By Two" in Vidyasagar's music. He gained recognition with his rendition of Mehdi Haasan's ghazals, leading Rahman to offer him work in Chennai.[5][6][7][8][9]

Srinivas collaborated extensively with Rahman, singing tracks for several films. His notable works include "Mellisaiye" from "Mr. Romeo" (1996) and "En Uyire" from "Uyire" (1998). He achieved widespread acclaim with hits like "Minsaara Poove" from "Padayappa" (1999), earning him his first Tamil Nadu Government State award for Best Male Singer. Srinivas continued his successful collaboration with Rahman, contributing to songs like "Endendrum Punnagai" and "Snehidhane" from "Alaipayuthey" (2000) and "Muzhumadhi" from "Jodha Akbar" (2008).[10][11][12][13]

Apart from Tamil, Srinivas also worked on Telugu albums with Rahman, earning the moniker "Jeans Srinivas" after the popularity of his song "Priya Priya" in the Telugu version of the movie "Jeans." His association with Rahman extended to Malayalam, with recent contributions to films like "Galatta Kalyanam" (2021) and the Malayalam version of "Ponniyin Selvan - II." Throughout his career, Srinivas has been known for his versatile voice and close collaboration with A.R. Rahman.[14][15][16][17][18][19]

Television[edit | edit source]

He has frequently appeared as a judge in Vijay Television Super Singer, Zee Tamil Sa Re Ga Ma Pa, and other reality shows of Tamil Nadu.[8][failed verification]
