His greatest asset is his wonderfully vibrant, widely-ranged, magnetic voice over which he has perfect control at all times in all the three octaves..
Born in a small village, Sankaraguptam in Andhra Pradesh on the 6th of July 1930, Balamuralikrishna began his musical career at an age when most children cling to their mother's apronstrings. His father Pattabiramayya was a well known musician and could play the Flute, Violin and Veena and his mother Suryakantamma was an excellent Veena player. So it is not surprising that he is also an enterprising instrumentalist who plays violin, viola, Khanjira, veena, mridangam etc.
