R. Sai Vignesh
(Vocal - Carnatic)
Sai Vignesh tells about him. "My grandmother used to sing, and also hear Carnatic music on the radio, every morning and noon. I used to listen to them regularly. My father is a keyboard player and my aunts sing bhajans at home. So, my love for music started at home itself. My family members are all attached to Sathya Sai organizations and so, I started singing bhajans there. I feel blessed to have been able to perform a Carnatic Concert in presence of Sri Sathya Sai Baba during the Tamil New Year day celebrations in April, 2010. Training for Carnatic music... I started my training in Carnatic music when I was seven. While my first guru was Smt Lakshmi Ananthakrishnan, and then Shri TR Vasudevan, a disciple of Chembai Vaidyanatha Bhagavathar."
