Mangalampalli Balamurali Krishna is a very well-known Carnatic music vocalist, a multi-instrumentalist and a playback singer. He is also acclaimed as a poet, composer and respected for his knowledge of Carnatic Music. Born on 6 July 1930 at the south Indian state of Andhra Pradesh, he was initially named Murali Krishna at birth. Balamurali Krishna turned out to be a child prodigy, who began staging musical shows from the age of five. It was the distinguished Harikatha performer, Musunuri Suryanarayana Murty Bhagavatar, who added 'Bala' to the name of young Muralikrishna.(Photo: Dr. Balamurali Krishna & Pt. Bhimsen Joshi).
Music happened to be in the blood of Balamurali Krishna as his father himself was a popular musician and could play the flute, violin and the veena, whereas his mother was a skilled veena player. As such, little Balamurali Krishna mastered a number of instruments within a short time. He was presented the All India Radio's "Top Grade" for seven different performance areas.
M Balamurali Krishna also happens to be the only Indian musician ever to win National Awards for classical music, music direction and film playback singing. The life history of the musical career of Mangalampalli Balamurali Krishna is interesting. He composed the Raganga Ravali that's a detailed work on the 72 Melakarta scheme when he was merely 14 years old. By 16, he had mastered all the 72 Melakarta ragas and composed kritis in all of them. Also he is said to have composed as many as 400 Carnatic musical compositions.
