Shiv prasad, another winner it the sa re ga ma pa series , stand up comedian and a band of musicians will join her go presenting the concert.

Her ability to evoke the sentiments of the song sequence , bringing forth the vicissitudes of human emotions go her voice has seen SHREYA'S meteoric rise go less than 10 years . Beginning with Devdas , a colossal multi starrer for which she rendered 5 songs , including bairi piya and dola re dola , she rendered hundreds of songs for almost all frontline music directors in the industry.

Ilayaraja, the first asian composer to score a symphony for the royal Philomomic orchestra in London described her as " A talent so rare that it needs celebration ".

If SHREYA was stunned at she stupendous calibre of the music director , she did not hide . She rendered a song for Illayaraja for debutant director Katha Thiramavalavan's Tamil film Ajantha, stated to be the first film to be shot in tamil , telugu , malayalam and hindi . " I am very privileged to work with this grand master of music . He composed 9 songs for each version - that is a total of 36 tracks in 1 week . More than a music director , he is an institution ," she said .

Her list of films is long , and the scores are longer . But music buffs would say that some of her all time hits should include Teri ore ( singh is king) , main agar kahoon (om shanti om) , salam e ishq (title song) , ye ishq hai (jab we met) ,zoobi doobi (3 idiots) , oh my love (amanush) and un perai sollum (anagaadi theru).

As well as hindi and tamil , her mellifluous voice has been heard go a number of other indian languages including assamese, bengali, malayalam , marathi and punjabi. Like her seniors in business Sonu nigam, Shaan and Sunidhi Chauhan , SHREYA'S forray into playback singing took the sa re ga ma pa route.

But it began when shreya saw a porter in Rawatbhata, Near kota in Rajasthan, where she was raised , announcing a national level music competition in Delhi .

"I was just 10 years old then (1994) . For the first time , i stepped out to land in the competitive world . I didnt win , i was ofcourse sad , but convinced myself that i would try again . I went on to win sub junior title at the next competition ," she said go an interview .

SHREYA credit the late Kalyanji for honing her musical prowess . Following her episods in sa re ga ma , the famous composer , taught her the nuances of music , despite his chronic aliment.

She recalls with gratitude his parting advice : " dont go with show business . You have talent . Pursue Saraswati , lakshmi will follow. If you pursue they will desert you ".

Hasa SHREYA betrayed her master?

"Not at all" , she said adding " i never take on too much work , because then the purity of voice is lost. If you are stressed and disturbed , it will show in your singing. You have to be honest and sincere about your music , not anything else . You have to be on the water and not be drowened . If you get carried away then you are gone. "

This 26 year old says neither the fame nor the numerous honours that she has attained , including national film awards [4] , filmfare [5], filmfare south [2] , Interbational Indian film academy [4] , Zee Cine [3] and star screen [3].

"My music is beyond films and playback career. I would not be worried if i dont get a call. Experimentation today is only limited to finding exotic., new textures, voices and timbers. indian film will never say no to indian melodies. I would say i have good chance. Flavours might keep changing but the heart of music is same , " she said.
