Born in 1973 to Prof.Y.Kalyanasundaram and vocal musician Smt.Sharada Kalyanasundaram at Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala in India, Krishnakumar started learning Carnatic music (vocal) from his mother at the age of eight.
After receiving the award of the National talent scholarship by the Government of India, Krishnakumar continued his learning in Carnatic Classical music in a very systematic manner from late Prof.Neyyattinkara.M.K.Mohanachandran Nair, former Head of Department of Music at Government Women’s College, Thiruvananthapuram.
By then he also visited Chennai yearly during academic vacations and had advanced training from Padmavibhushan Dr.M.Balamuralikrishna. This bond of Guru – Sishya for more than two decades became very stronger as Krishnakumar moved his residence to Chennai. With the support singing, Krishnakumar also accompanies his mentor Guruji on concerts.
