Playback singer Srinivas says that he was virtually forced
into becoming a chemical engineer because in his family everyone was a qualified
engineer. He says he had no option but to become one himself. He worked for a
full 10 years in an engineering company and even tried his hand at marketing
until he decided that enough was enough and walked away from his job and
tried his hand at singing. While at college he had started singing and it was
no doubt the female following that he had that made him opt for that as a
career.
After he started singing for the movies he found that most
music composers were content in getting a singer to sing the song exactly as
they composed it but the one man who was different was AR Rahman. Srinivas said
that he used to try and put every singer in a corner only so that the singer
would have to think out of the box and contribute something on his own. It was
that one trait that set him apart from many of the other composers. Srinivas
says his growth as a singer was also because he chose not to concentrate only
on playback singing. His foray into non-film music and stage singing exposed
him to a larger arena. He even started composing songs on his own. But it was his
first experience singing a song for ARR that stayed in his mind. Srinivas had responded to ARR’s call thinking
that he was going to get a full song but on going to the studio he was shocked to
find that he had been called just to sing chorus. For a full-fledged
playback singer that was like being called up on stage and then being insulted.
On hindsight Srinivas said he was grateful for that one
opportunity to sing chorus because that opened his mind to the endless possibilities
in music. He has pretty strong views about the reality shows that are popular today
on television. He is not in favour of judging singers just for the way that
they can faithfully duplicate an original song. He looks for something special
from the singer; something that highlights his own character. According to him
a contestant cannot be expected to be just a Xerox copy of the original.
Srinivas has very many more original ideas and one can see in the conversation
that he has a mind of its own and is not prepared to take anybody’s word unless
he is convinced. Listen to him as he explores the world of music in India.
