I get completely lost in it - it’s not just a job, it's how I share my emotions. Every playback song is a fresh chance for me to bring life to a character, to give a scene its feeling, and to support the director’s vision. Honestly, sometimes it's tough to nail the mood perfectly, but that's what keeps it exciting. ### Songs That Made Me Who I Am A few tracks really changed things for me. “Kadalanu Kaano Horatiro” from Sapta Saagaradaache Ello - Side B brought me crazy amounts of love, and “Olave Olave” (which also became “Nuvve Nuvve” in Telugu and “Uyire Uyire” in Malayalam) got hearts from everywhere. Singing “Naa Ninage Nee Nanage” as a duet with Vasuki Vaibhav was special. I also enjoy making independent music like “Anirikshita” - gives me space to experiment. ### Awards & Recognition Winning the Filmfare Award South and IIFA Utsavam for “Kadalanu Kaano Horatiro” was unreal. I’ve also bagged Prajavani Cine Samman and got nominated for SIIMA and Chittara Star Awards. These keep me going, but honestly, what matters most is how people feel the song. ### My Vocal Palette I mostly sing in Kannada, Telugu, and Malayalam. My Hindustani classical music training helps me handle different genres - film melodies, ghazals, abhangs, bhavageethe - you name it. Working with composers like Charan Raj and Arjun Ramu, and studios like Paramvah, is always thumba khushi (so much joy). ### How I Work I dive deep into the lyrics and melody before stepping into the studio. The actual recording happens at studios picked by the production team. My main aim is to deliver a multilingual playback voice performance that lifts the whole song. *Dhanyavaada!* (Thank you!) ## Highlights Browse through Srilakshmi Belmannu's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/srilakshmi_belmannu/playback-singing/featured) - ![This moment, holding the Filmfare award for "Kadalanu Kaano Horatiro," feels like a dream.

Music's pretty much my life - can't separate the two. Amma's always catching my goofy smiles on camera, and Dodda (grandma) is my anchor. Recently became a Maami (aunt) - big deal for me! When I'm not singing, you’ll find me with cousins, sipping coffee, or jumping out of planes (yup, skydiving!). I just want to share some joy, whether through a soulful song or a silly laugh. So grateful for all the love. ### My work - **What I Do**: I sing playback for Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam films and albums. Also do Hindustani classical, Ghazals, Abhangs, Bhavageethe live. - **My Singing Style**: I get lost in the music - be it a soulful Kannada film song or a Hindustani classical raag. It's all about the emotion. - **Awards & Recognition**: Got lucky with Filmfare, IIFA Utsavam, Prajavani Cine Samman for songs like 'Kadalanu' and 'Olave Olave'. Still feels unreal. - **How I Work**: I love collaborating - studio vibes, jamming with friends, every project feels fresh and exciting. ## More services from Srilakshmi Belmannu - [Live Vocal Performances](https://mytribe.in/srilakshmi_belmannu/live-vocal-performances) · ₹20-80K per performance (estimate) ## Experts similar to Srilakshmi Belmannu on mytribe - [Session & Playback Singer by Sakshi](https://mytribe.in/sakshi_jagadeesh/session-playback-singer) · ₹4-15K per song (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Session Vocalist & Songwriter by Anusha Ishwar](https://mytribe.in/anushaishwar/session-vocalist-songwriter) · ₹7-20K per song (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Studio Vocalist by Praveen Bhat](https://mytribe.in/praveenbhatmusic/studio-vocalist) · ₹4-25K per song/session (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Playback Singing by Spoorthi Rao](https://mytribe.in/spoorthirao_/playback-singing) · ₹12-50K per song (studio recording) (estimate) · India - [Live Singer for Events by Panchee](https://mytribe.in/_panchee_/live-singer-for-events) · ₹7-25K per 2-hour set (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Live Vocal Performance by Soundarya Jayaram](https://mytribe.in/soundaryajayaram/live-vocal-performance) · ₹8-60K per event (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Live Music & Theatrical Performances by Pallavi MD](https://mytribe.in/pallavi_md/live-music-theatrical-performances) · ₹40K-2.5L per performance (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Custom Song Recordings by Praharsha Shivakumar](https://mytribe.in/ms.ps_sings/custom-song-recordings) · ₹1,000-3,500 per custom song recording (digital delivery) (estimate) - [Voice-over & Jingle Services by Rajni Shivaram](https://mytribe.in/rajnishivaram/voice-over-jingle-services) · ₹5-25K per project (up to 60 seconds) (estimate) · Bengaluru ## Book To book Srilakshmi Belmannu, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'm%20looking%20for%20Playback%20Singing%20by%20Srilakshmi%20Belmannu.)
