Jyotsna Radhakrishnan (born September 5, 1986) is a playback singer in Malayalam cinema. She is based in Thrissur, Kerala.[1]

Early life

Jyotsna was born in Kuwait. At a very young age she moved to Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

She did her schooling at the Asian International School in Ruwais, a industrial area 240 kilometres (150 miles) west of Abu Dhabi, where she excelled at singing.

Singing career

Jyotsna's interest in music started at a very young age. She learned the Carnatic vocal style under Mangad Natesan, and the Hindustani classical vocal style under Guru Dinesh Devdas.

Although she started her career in Malayalam cinema with the song "Valakilukkam Kettedee" from the film Pranayamani Thooval in 2002, it was "Sughamanee Nilavu" from Nammal that brought her to wider attention.[2] She has sung in almost 130 movie, in Malayalam as well as in Tamil and Telugu. She has sung on some 200 albums. Some of her hits include ”Karuppinazhagu” from Swapnakoodu, "Melleyonnu" from Manassinakkare, and "Meheruba" from Perumazhakkalam.

Some of her latest films include Classmates, Pothen Vava, Don, Notebook and Janmam. She has traveled to the U.K., U.S.A., Australia and Singapore for musical programs and has performed with almost all leading playback singers of south India. She successfully concluded another North American tour with singer G. Venugopal and in August 2013 in Australia with Unni Menon performing for Malayalees in major cities. This was her first trip to Australia where she was accompanied by Ramesh Pisharody.

Personal Life

On December 26, 2010, Jyotsna married Sreekanth Surendran, a software engineer from Kochi. She gave birth to their first child, a son, on July 9, 2015.[2]
