Srinivas’ name might not ring an instant bell as a singer, but when you think about the hit songs he has sung, viz. Ooo la la la (Sapnay), Dola dola (Dil Hi Dil Mein), Ta ra rum pum (Doli Saja Ke Rakhna), Yeh jo zindagi hai (1947 - Earth) and (Raja Ko Rani Se Pyar Ho Gaya), you know that he is among the few good singers with an appealing voice.

He had developed the fine ear for music early in his life. When he was a mere kid growing up in Trivandrum, followed the bhajanai groups, who sang and went by the street during the month of Margazhi.He started listening to Semmangudi, M.D. Ramanthan and others through my aunt Mrs. Padmanarayanan,his guru in music. Then the soul-stirring voice of Kishore Kumar deeply influenced him during the length of my schooling years. Once in the Bombay University Department of Chemical Technology for his B. Tech in textile dyes, He fell in love with the ghazals of Mehdi Hassan and started representing his university in youth festivals.

He worked as a chemical engineer for 10 years, before his passion for music got the better of him. In those 10 years, he progressed in his career, moved to Coimbatore, and got married. He approached the music maestro Ilayaraja, the numero uno in the tamil filmdom during the 80s, who offered an opportunity but unfortunately it didnt work .

The playback singer from South cuts his first private album in Hindi titled Yeh Duniya Sab Ki, which boasts of a new sound on the Indi-pop front.... Also he worked as a co-composer to Praveen Mani for "Little John" now.
