Biography

Unnikrishnan began his Carnatic music training at the age of 12 under Seshadri Unnikrishnan. He drew inspiration from Sangita Kalanidhi Dr. S. Ramanathan and participated in a six-month special workshop on "Veena Dhanammal Bhani" guided by Sangeetha Kalanidhi T. Brinda and Dr. T. Vishwa Nathan.

He received a National Award for his debut playback songs "Ennavale Adi Ennavale" and "Uyirum Neeye," both composed by A. R. Rahman, with whom he collaborated on many memorable tracks. Unnikrishnan was the first male playback singer to win a National Award for a Tamil song. He served as a permanent judge on the reality TV show AIRTEL Super Singer on Vijay TV during the seasons 2006, 2008, 2010-2011, 2013, 2015-2016, and 2018, as well as on the 2008 Idea Star Singer on Asianet.

He is also recognized for his experimental work. In 2008, he delivered a unique jazz concert in Thiruvananthapuram alongside the Eli Yamin Jazz Quartet and pianist Anil Srinivasan.

Unnikrishnan favors singing classical music over pop.

“Carnatic music has expanded significantly. Audience preferences have evolved over time. Young people have developed an appreciation for this music form, and attendance at concerts has grown remarkably. The genre continues to offer novelty.” He has been honored with numerous awards including Tamil Nadu's Kalaimamani, Nada Bhushanam, Isai Peroli, Yuva Kala Bharathi, Isayin Punnagai, Isai Selvam, Sangeetha Kalasarathy, and Sangeetha Chakravarthy.

“The subtleties of Carnatic music may be challenging for the general public to grasp, but today’s music enthusiasts are willing to make the effort to appreciate it. I’ve observed youngsters discussing this genre with great enthusiasm. People take time from their busy lives to attend our performances, so it is our duty to ensure they enjoy the music. Even in reality shows, we encourage contestants to cultivate a taste for Carnatic music to enhance their performance in light music.”
