Smt Bombay Jayashri Ramnath: Born to Shri N N Subramaniam and Smt. Seetha, both steeped in pedigree of Carnatic Music, Jayashri was groomed in her initial years in Carnatic Music by her parents. While she would naturally wake up every morning to the strains of her father's practice sessions, growing up in the hustle and bustle of Bombay exposed her to various forms of music. As a child, she also learnt Bharatanatyam, and was actively involved in Theatre and Arts in school and college. She received the Best Entertainer Award for three consecutive years in her college. Jayashri graduated in Commerce, but with her intuitive feel and flare for the Art form, she seemed ordained to be a performing musician. Her regimented initiation into music was under her father's guidance at the age of four. Her first krithi was Dikshithar's Santhana Gopalakrishnam in Khamas. Under the tutelage of Smt.TR Balamani , Jayashri took to the path of pursuing her music seriously and added substantively to her repertoire . She was quickly into concert performances in her teens and in 1989, she had the rare privelege of enrolling herself as a disciple of the legend Lalgudi Shri G Jayaraman. Harnessing a facile and mellifluous voice with great restraint and dignity she presents her music with a rare charisma which invariably draws a large listening audience to her concerts. Today, Jayashri occupies an important place in Carnatic Music's hierarchy and makes bold to becoming, along with an exclusive band of colleagues in the profession, a name to be reckoned with, and remembered well into the next millenium. She is also a student of Veena, under Shri G N Dhandapani Iyer. [source: CarnaticMusic.com]
