Devi Sri Prasad
"Devi Sri Prasad, the youth icon has come a long way. Energy is his energy. His energy is infectious. All of us have dreams right from childhood but only few stick to them and realize them quickly. Devi is one of them. Lets dwell into more details of him."
Early life and career He was born in Vedurupaka and later moved to Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. His father was a school teacher and a writer. He completed his schooling at Sir M. Venkata Subba Rao Boys High School, T. Nagar, Chennai. He won several prizes in the culturals organised at inter-school level for both dance and singing competitions. His debut album Dance Party was the start of his music career. He began his musical-direction career in 1999 in the Telugu film Devi. Devi Sri Prasad was a disciple of the renowned mandolinist U. Srinivas, and he has directed music for dozens of South Indian films, including several box-office successes. He has also written lyrics for a few songs in Telugu, which include "Vecha Vechaga" in Vamsi (starring Mahesh Babu and Namrata), "Premante Yemitante" in Anandam, "Chaila Chaila" in Shankar Dada MBBS, and "Udayinche Suryudinadigaa" and "Akaasam" in Kalusukovalani. He also composed a song for the Telugu film Vajrotsavam. Devi Sri Prasad is known to be a big fan of Ilaiyaraaja. He is also a great fan of A. R.
