Neyveli S radhakrishna

About me:

Radhakrishna was initiated into our priceless treasure- music at the tender age of eight. Got interested in learning two allied streams, vocal and violin.

Long hours of practice, insatiable thirst to learn, Guru's blessings and God's grace above all made him scale great heights.

Radhakrishna’s latest feat- “STEREOSCOPIC DOUBLE NECK VIOLIN” is UNIQUE-- the first of its kind in Asia and currently third in the world. Nay. There were only two double neck violins in the world. Re-invention, re-modelling and innovative upgradation makes the double neck violin Radhakrishna plays the first of its kind in the world!

Its orchestral range spans a spectrum encompassing a range of four instruments-violin, viola, cello and double bass. The vibrational information of a string is gathered from two different points and then fused to provide extra degree of clarity and power.

Perceverance and assiduous industry has perfected his art. His unique style has created a niche in the hearts of rasikas and music buffs.

Well-versed in playing classical carnatic music, fusion, jazz, and contemporary music as well, he straddles the musical streams with great elan. It was a defining moment in his life when he participated in "Bharat Rathna" Pandit Ravishankar's "Festival of India III" in USA and CANADA in World's most prestigious Halls, notably Carniege Hall, New york, Disney hall, Los Angeles ..He has learnt he musical nitty-gritty of Hindustani music from Pandit Ravishankar. He considers it a privilege to play along with Anoushka Shankar.

"Godfather of Worldmusic" Ravi Shankar has hailed the playing of S.Radhakrishna as "Poignant and Fantastic".

In 2007, Album of Mattias IA Eklundh"Land of Freaks"has been released.
