Learn more about the music:

Abhishek Raghuram’s command of South Indian classical singing is worthy of one far beyond his years. He is descended from Carnatic musical royalty - his grandfather was mridangam legend Palghat Raghu, and his mother’s side of the family include members of the Lalgudi violin dynasty. He learned percussion in the family first, winning an All India Radio mridangam competition at the age of seven and sometimes accompanying top artists on the kanjira.

But he soon chose to prioritise vocal music, studying hard under P.S. Narayanaswamy. He debuted aged nine, and has since gone on to receive widespread acclaim for his mature and detailed approach to a range of classical forms. He has toured internationally, composed tillanas, and sung for film and ballet. He has a long and bright future ahead of him.
