This singer started singing at the age of 3, sang over 10,000 songs, known as ‘Humming queen’, died at 37 due to…, her name is…
When it comes to Bollywood in the world of singing, the names of singers like Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhosle, and Shreya Ghoshal come first the tongue. Whereas when we turn towards South, the names of Shrimati Subbulakshmi, S Janaki, and K S Chitra come to the fore. These are such singers who ruled their time and entertained the public a lot with their melodious voices. But there was one such singer who sang many songs in a very short time.
Although the mass audience may not know the name of this singer today due to her early demise, this does not reduce the greatness of the singer. If there was Lata in Bollywood, there was Swarnalatha in South as well. Swarnalatha’s career was not very big, but her contribution to the music world was great. The singer was born on 29 April 1973 in Kerala. She started singing at the age of 3 years. She took her initial education from her elder sister.
The singer’s career started at an early age. She gave his first performance in the year 1987. At that time, she was only 14 years old. But the singer took up music at such a young age, and his journey continued till the end. In a career of 22 years, the singer sang more than 10 thousand songs in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, Hindi, and Bengali languages. She sang songs for everyone from Ilaiyaraaja to AR Rahman. She performed with everyone from KJ Yesudas to Shankar Mahadevan.
The singer has won many awards in her career spanning two decades. Swarnalatha won the National Award for AR Rahman. The singer also won the Tamil Nadu State Film Award. Apart from this, the singer has also been honoured with Tamil Nadu state’s highest honour, Kalaimamani.
No one had thought that such a high-profile singer whose magic has a great impact on people would die so soon. South Indian singer Swarnalatha had idiopathic lung disease. This disease took the singer’s life at a young age. But there is no doubt that in such a short time, Swarnalatha brought herself to the list of top singers with her art and discipline. If the singer were alive today, she would have been a bigger name in the music world worldwide.
