Sairam Iyer

 An eight year old boy strides confidently to the stage and the audience spellbound with his sweet and soulful rendition of that Lata Classic 'Satyam Shivam Sundaram'. The audience is in raptures. A prodigy had arrived. The boy was  Sairam Iyer and this scene was to be witnessed time and again in his illustrious career. As a child, Sairam was God gifted with a mellifluous voice that resembled a female’s voice. With this innate gift, Sairam  went on to steal the hearts of the film music crazy and discerning audience of Bombay with his uncanny ability to reproduce on stage, the magical voices of  his idols Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhonsle including their minutest nuances.  Singer Sairam had music and art following in his veins. His father Mr. K.V.S. Mani was an accomplished, dancer and actor,   from whom Sairam inherited his artistic and musical genes. Adolescence played its inevitable trick on Sairam. His voice began its natural course of transition from the childlike sweetness to a more youthful and mature voice. While Sairam happily welcomed this law of nature, he missed his earlier voice that brought him much adultation.

Sairam was also a student of the late music maestro. Pandit Ramesh Nadkarni While winning innumerable awards at music competitions at different levels (college, university, zonal and national), Sairam showed his versatility by participating in the Mumbai University's music choir under the eminent choir conductor Late Kanu Ghosh and, subsequently, was deputed to conduct the choir by the later.

Sairam has performed in more than 1500 shows all over India, U.K., U.S.A. South America, Canada, West Asia, West Indies and the Far East. He has also lent his magical presence at prestigious music and dance festivals.
