T. M. Krishna
T. M. Krishna began training in Carnatic music at age six and gave his first solo concert at twelve at Madras Music Academy. Trained under the legendary Semmangudi Srinivasa Iyer, he became one of India's most celebrated vocalists. Beyond performance, he has dedicated himself to making classical music accessible to all – through teaching, writing, and initiatives like "Voices Within", which brings Carnatic music to marginalised and underserved communities who rarely get to experience it. Recognised globally for using music as a tool for social change, he received the Ramon Magsaysay Award in 2016 and the prestigious Sangita Kalanidhi in 2024 – proving that true artistry lies not just in mastering a tradition, but in having the courage to open it up to everyone.
