Abhishek Raghuram:

(Vocal)

Through the unique guidance

of his legendary grandfather,

Shri Palghat Raghu, and as a

disciple of Sangeetha Kala

Acharya Shri P.S. Narayanaswamy, Abhishek

Raghuram is emerging to be a defining contemporary

vocalist.

The best senior vocalist awarded to Abhishek by Music

Academy, Chennai for the 2010 music season is a fitting

tribute to a musician some critics have called “food for

intellect, mind, heart and soul”.

Abhishek hails from a family of legendary musicians

and was declared a child prodigy when he gave his first

concert at 9 years of age. He has since accumulated

many awards, recognitions and accolades.
