Maharajapuram Sri S. Ramachandran, the renowned Carnatic vocal musician is the heir to a great musical tradition. He had the unique privilege of being tutored by two extraordinary musical giants, his grandfather, Maharajapuram Vishwanatha Iyer and his father, Maharajapuram Santhanam, and is 7th in the direct sishya parampara of Saint Thyagaraja. With such a strong foundation, it is not difficult for Ramachandran to earn a name for himself and he has established himself as the authentic custodian of the Maharajapuram style. His adherence to excellence and tradition has earned him many awards and titles such as Sangeetha Ratnakara, Isai Puyal, Isai Kalai Selvan, Sangeetha Samrat, Sangeetha Ganamani from the Kanchi Kamakoti Peetam and Tamil Isai Vendar. In Aug 2007, he received the prestigious Sangeetha Chudamani award from the Krishna Gana Sabha of Chennai. Ramachandran is an A-grade A artist of All India Radio and Doordarshan and he is a member of the Faculty of Fine Arts, Annamalai University.
