Bombay Jayashri
Born Jayashri Ramnath in Calcutta, West Bengal, India on November 30, 1962, Bombay Jayashri is a vocalist, musician, and playback singer best known for her Carnatic music recordings, which is a style that originated in South India. She sings in multiple languages including Hindi, Kannada, Telugu, Malayalam, and Tamil. Born into a musical family, she received Carnatic music training from her parents before studying under Lalgudi Jayaraman and T. R. blamani. She also learned how to play the Veena, which is an ancient Indian instrument. Bombay Jayashri began performing in public in 1982 and would eventually play venues and festivals in more than 35 different countries including the US, Australia, Finland, France, Portugal, Canada, Germany, and her homeland of India. Bombay Jayashri made her playback debut in 1983, recording several songs for the film Thambathigal. She didn’t jump back into playback singing until nearly a decade later, recording Malayalam-language songs for Kudumbsametham (1992). She became a prolific playback singer, mostly focusing on Tamil cinema (Kollywood). Some of her Tamil language recordings include “Kaiyil Veenai Yendhum” (from 1994’s Vietnam Colony), “Yen Pennendru” with Mohammed Aslam (from 1997’s Love Today), “Mudher Kanave” with Harish Raghavendra (from 2001’s Majunu), “Thithi Thidave” (from 2004’s Jana), “Yen Indha Mayamo” (from 2007’s Sringaram), “Pi’s Lullaby” (from 2012’s Live of Pi), “Semparuthi” (from 2017’s Indrajith), and “Lullaby” (from 2019’s Mamangam). She also provided vocals for Telugu cinema (Tollywood), Kannada cinema (Sandalwood), and Hindi cinema (Bollywood). During her career, Bombay Jayashri has won many awards including the Filmfare Award for Best Female Playback Singer (2001), the Sangeetha Choodamani Award (2005), the Tamil Nadu State Film Award for Best Female Playback Singer (2005), the Kalaimamani Virudhu from the Government of Tamil Nadu (2007), the Sangeetha Kalasarathy award from Sri Parthasarathy Swami Sabha (2007), the Vijay Award for Best Female Playback Singer (2008), and the Padma Shri from the Government of India.
