Indian singer Sid Sriram has produced many hits ever since he started out more than a decade ago. Known for his extensive work with the South Indian film industry singing in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada, he has also been a part of Marathi and Hindi projects, showcasing his diverse musical journey.
Among several hits, many in Mumbai got introduced to the singer through `Srivalli` from `Pushpa: The Rise` (2021) but the Carnatic musician has produced many others over the years including `Mudhal Nee Mudivum Nee`, which is among this writer`s favourites apart from others including Sid`s English music. The latter opened a whole new world as it seamlessly blends Carnatic music with Western influences. While Indian audiences were already familiar with his vocal range, the singer admits that one particular performance helped introduce his music to a global audience.
