Description
|
Kavita Krishnamurthy (born Sharada Krishnamurthy on 25 January 1958) is an
Indian film playback singer. Trained in classical music, she has sung a wide
range of classical-based songs. In her career, she has worked with a variety
of music composers, including R. D. Burman and A. R. Rahman. She is the
recipient of four Filmfare Best Female Playback Singer Awards, including 3
consecutive awards in the period 1994–1996. She was also decorated with
Padma Shri which she received in 2006. She began her music training with her
aunt, Mrs. Bhattacharya, who taught her Rabindra Sangeet. She began her formal
training in Hindustani classical music under Balram Puri, a classical singer.
At the young age of eight, Kavita won a gold medal at a music competition.
Subsequently, she kept winning many such gold medals as she kept participating
in the Inter-Ministry Classical Competition in New Delhi in the mid 1960s.
At the age of nine, she got an opportunity to record a Tagore song in Bengali
with the legendary Lata Mangeshkar under the auspices of the music composer
and singer Hemant Kumar. In her struggling phase, she received the patronage
of music composers Laxmikant—Pyarelal, who backed her so strongly that she was
labelled as a singer exclusively working with them.
