Sid Sriram
A multidisciplinary musician, playback singer, and songwriter/composer as well as a genre-defying solo artist, Sid Sriram is best known for his soulful soundtrack performances. Raised in California, the Berklee College of Music alumnus works in several languages and their related film industries, including but not limited to Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, and English. Fresh out of college, he broke through with his film debut, singing A.R. Rahman's "Adiye" in the 2013 Tamil movie Kadal. An in-demand playback singer thereafter, he worked again with Rahman amid voice appearances in over 200 movies in his first decade of performing (mostly in Telugu and Tamil). In the meantime, he released his own debut album, 2019's Entropy, a genre-bending set of art-pop injected with contemporary R&B, indie rock, Indian Carnatic music, and rap inspirations. He also made his composing debut in the 2020 film Vaanam Kottattum. Sriram's similarly complex second solo LP, the all-English Sidharth, was issued on Def Jam in 2023.
Born in Chennai, India in 1990, Sidharth Sriram moved with his family to California as an infant. Raised in Fremont, his mother was a Carnatic music teacher, and he became a student of the South Indian classical subgenre at the age of four. He also became a fan of contemporary R&B music as well as jazz, blues, rap, and gospel, and after graduating from Mission San Jose High School in 2008, he enrolled at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, where he studied production and engineering. During this time, he would visit Chennai every December and help keep his voice in shape by giving Carnatic concerts.
In December of 2012, on one of his trips, he managed to get a voice demo to A.R. Rahman through a friend. This led to a session with Rahman and an eventual invitation to appear as a playback singer in the Tamil film Kadal (2013). The song "Adiye" proved an industry breakthrough for Sriram, leading to dozens of roles as a playback singer over the next few years -- over 70 by the end of the decade, including films in the Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam sectors.
As his star rose as a singer in India and he relocated there, Sriram set about recording his own music. With work on some of the material dating back to the early 2010s, his debut album, Entropy, was released in partnership with Artists Originals in February 2019. A complex mix of Sriram's musical influences, including R&B, Carnatic music, rap, indie, and more, the set made fans of Def Jam Recordings, which signed him for a follow-up. In the meantime, Sriram topped the charts with soundtrack songs like “Maruvaarthai” (from Enai Noki Paayum Thota), and he made his film composing debut with 2020's Vaanam Kottattum, penning five of its six songs in addition to composing the score with music director K (Krishna Kumar). With English-language lyrics, his Def Jam debut, Sidharth, was a similarly ambitious articulation of his musical influences. By the time of its release, his voice had appeared in over 200 movies, and he was a playback star of renown.
