In love you never give up | Sreerama Chandra | TEDxHyderabad

Sreerama Chandra is your typical Hyderabadi guy next door - going through his schooling, college and academics with an aim 'to be an engineer and get a good job'. In spite of his talent and passion for music, he could not take it seriously until he was pursuing his graduation. He discovered spirituality and solace in music, and he then pursued it relentlessly, struggling his way with consistent music education, rehearsals and grueling schedules with his studies, his audition and subsequent selection and crowning as Indian Idol. His music has become his way of expressing himself to the world, and awards and blockbusters haven't stopped coming in. His secret - even if he didn't know what exactly he wanted to do, he figured what he definitely didn't want to do; and he stays updated! Sreerama Chandra is the voice behind more than 150 superhit songs in Hindi, Telugu and other Indian languages, as well as for the soundtrack used in ‘The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Trader’. Having followed his passion for music doggedly, he has persisted at it, winning contests and hearts. This Hyderabadi won Indian Idol 5 (2010) hands down, and has also acted in Telugu movies. He is a very popular name in the global musical concerts world. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
