SUMMARY:Pallavi Anand(U.K)
DESCRIPTION:Pallavi began her training in Bharatanatyam with her mother Smt. Shalini Shivashankar (Director of Upahaar School of Dance) at the age of five and continued to complete her arangetram in 2008 in Bangalore\, India. As a young child\, Pallavi was also privileged to have been trained in the basics of this dance style by two other teachers both alumni of Kalakshetra – Ranjini Ganesan and Lekha Sasi in Bangalore and Bahrain respectively\, thus giving her a strong foundation in Bharatanatyam\, which has moulded and shaped her current style. \nShe later worked on polishing her skills further in Chennai at Bharata Kalanjali School of Natya\, founded by the Natyachaaryas\, the Dhananjayans and worked on abhinaya with Smt. Bragha Bessel. Pallavi is also privileged to have received training with prominent dancers and choreographers\, Sri. A Lakshmanaswamy\, Smt. Divya Shiva Sundar and Smt. Seeta Patel. Since 2020\, she continues to train and find her voice under the teachings and guidance of Sri. Mavin Khoo. \nIn addition\, Pallavi explored Mohiniattam briefly and has begun her training in Mridangam and Nattuvangam\, aiding her sense of rhythm and musicality within dance. She has presented a variety of solo\, duet and group recitals in the UK\, India\, and abroad and toured globally as part of Akram Khan Company’s ‘Outwitting the Devil’ & ‘Thikra – Night of Remembering’. Pallavi has been awarded ‘Winner of YUVA 2016’ from Akademi in London\, ‘Nritya Ratna’ from Trinity Arts Festival\, Chennai and ‘Nritya Priyadarshini’ from Natyapriya\, Bangalore. \nShe is also a part of the teaching faculty at Upahaar School of Dance\, London and has previously graduated in BA Fashion Design from Nottingham Trent University. Pallavi continues her journey of discovery within the medium of Natyam. \n“Bharatanaṭyam is hedged on its visual articulacy\, and it’s evident that Pallavi has worked hard to achieve this. However\, beyond academic diligence there is something luxurious at hint: a mature handling of the technique\, the patience to allow characters to simmer and stew\, the wisdom to be simultaneously detached and completely present. Here is a dancer who seems not in thrall with herself\, who is happy to dwell alongside the dance rather than seek to extract from it. The ease and humility\, the lack of self-consciousness\, these are the truly enviable traits\, and are sure to draw more audiences to share in her artistry. This was a stellar evening\, curated with care and finesse. I walk away sated\, elated by beauty.“

SUMMARY:Cuddalore SJ Jananiy
DESCRIPTION:From the tender age of 2½\, S. J. Jananiy’s world resonated with melody. With a voice so sonorous and pure\, she could replicate any song she heard—effortlessly and instinctively. It wasn’t long before her natural gift caught the attention of those around her. At just 3½ years old\, she was introduced to Carnatic classical music\, marking the beginning of a lifelong voyage through sound and soul. \nBorn in Cuddalore\, Tamil Nadu\, Jananiy began her formal education at St. Mary’s Matriculation School. But while other children played games or chatted during breaks\, Jananiy would find herself immersed in music. Inspired by her uncle R. Sankerganesh\, a musician himself\, she began experimenting with the keyboard\, matching notes to songs she sang—a talent far beyond her years. \nJananiy’s early training in Carnatic music was under the guidance of stalwarts like Smt. Lakshmi\, Shri Chidambaram Shanmugam\, and Smt. Geetha Srinivasan. At just 5½ years old\, she delivered her first vocal concert at the Rettaipillaiyar Temple in Pudupalayam\, mesmerizing the audience. A spark had ignited\, and it burned brightly. \nRecognition followed swiftly. A performance at Madras Music Academy earned her a special prize despite being underage for the competition. She captivated crowds with light music renditions like “Kannodu Kanbathellam\,” and impressed judges at regional orchestras. Her appearance on Sun TV’s Kalai Malar program at age 7 marked the arrival of a child star. The media lovingly dubbed her “Kuttikuyil” (Little Cuckoo)\, and prestigious institutions—from Lions and Rotary Clubs to spiritual temples—showered her with honors and titles. \nAt seven\, she released her debut album Natha Oli\, singing all nine tracks with music by Mr. Kumardeva. The album garnered praise and awards\, including the title “Ezhu Vayadhu Adhisayam” from Dinamani. \nHer grandfather\, Shri S. Ramamurthi\, recognized her immense potential and facilitated her advanced training under Kalaimamani Injikudi Shri E. P. Ganesan\, grounding her further in Carnatic tradition. She began performing Pancharatna Keerthanais on keyboard—a remarkable feat for a young girl—and became a regular at prestigious events like the Thiruvaiyyaru Thyagaraja Utsavam and the Thiruvaiyaru Tamil Isai Mandram. \nBetween 1999 and 2005\, Jananiy amassed an array of accolades: Junior Citizen Award\, Child Prodigy in Music\, and the National Child Award for Exceptional Achievement in Classical Music (Vocal)\, personally honored by President Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam after singing “Endaro Mahanubhavulu” at Rashtrapati Bhavan. \nShe sang with legends like Dr. S. P. Balasubrahmanyam on the album Poongatru\, composed by Shri L. Vaidhyanathan with lyrics by Padma Bhushan Kaviperarasu Vairamuthu. Her voice became a fixture in local orchestras\, devotional platforms\, and cultural stages across Tamil Nadu. \nDriven by her dream of becoming a composer and multigenre artist\, she began composing at the age of 12. Her fusion concepts like Classic Waves introduced audiences to a unique blend of tradition and modernity. Albums like Silambosai\, Hit Songs on Lord Shiva\, and Classic Marvel series showcased her ability to traverse genres effortlessly. \nA top nominee in POGO’s Amazing Kid Awards and “Brain-o-Brain Wonder Kid\,” she juggled music with academic excellence\, topping in Tamil and bagging “Best Vocalist” awards year after year. She shifted to Chennai in 2006 to pursue her dream more seriously\, enrolling in Adarsh Vidyalaya and later\, Church Park\, where she composed for centenary celebrations. \nHer accolades during her teen years are almost too many to count—Young Achiever Awards\, Isai Vaani\, Bala Swarna Jwala\, and more. Her training intensified: Carnatic under Guru Shri Neyveli Santhanagopalan\, Western Classical under Mr. Augustine Paul (L.MusTCL)\, Hindustani under Shri Kuldeep Sagar\, and Keyboard under Mr. V. Giridharan. She completed her Grade 8 in Electronic Keyboard\, Theory of Music\, and Western Classical Vocal\, followed by the prestigious ATCL from Trinity College London. \nIn 2009\, she won the Rising Star title in an All-India competition judged by maestros Pt. Jasraj\, Pt. Hariprasad Chaurasia\, and Pt. Hariharan. This led to a Jugalbandhi with Pt. Hariprasad Chaurasia at “Au Fil des Voix” in Paris—marking her international debut. \nHer academic brilliance matched her musical journey. At Queen Mary’s College\, she topped her MA in Indian Music\, winning multiple endowment and union prizes. She earned titles such as Tamizhisai Kalaimani\, Sangitha Kovidha\, and Isai Arasi\, among many others. \nHer work extended into school and church compositions—songs for Stella Maris College\, Sacred Heart Church Park\, and Luz Church events. She received the Kalai Mamani award from the Tamil Nadu Government in 2018\, further solidifying her stature. \nThe same year\, her original composition “Pudhiya Ulagam Malarattumae” won the Peace Song Awards (World Music Category\, Los Angeles)—the only Indian song to do so. Her debut international single Believe in You (2019) topped Euro Indie charts and earned a Bronze Medal at the Global Music Awards\, USA. \nFrom a little girl who could echo melodies with uncanny precision to a globally celebrated composer\, singer\, and music producer\, S. J. Jananiy’s story is one of divine gift\, tireless dedication\, and boundless creativity. She is not just a prodigy—she is a phenomenon\, blending tradition with innovation\, and sound with spirit.

The guru-sishya relationship is a very special bond as is the one between a grandparent and grandchild. For me\, it’s double the joy Mahati was destined to learn classical dance from the day she was born. It also helped at mealtimes\, a trying ritual for most kids! When she was a child\, I used to feed her while showing videos of our guru’s dance\, recalls the 66 year-old. The food went down without a fuss! She used to start dancing and enjoy the whole thing. She quickly adds that Mahati receives no special treatment in class. In fact\, coming from this family\, we are quite strict with her as expectations are higher. It is a sheer joy to watch her dancing. Those information is from an article.
