The fellowship in the name of Bharath Ratna M. S. Subbalakshmi, instituted by Shanmughananda Sangeetha Sabha, Mumbai was presented to N. J. Nandini on 21st of September by Hon. Governer of West Bengal, M. K. Narayanan. This young talent has been groomed by dedicated teachers and supported by a music-loving family. She is already creating waves in the highly competitive world of Carnatic music. A B-grade artist of All India Radio, Nandini, a rank holder from her school during her Plus Two, says she wants to make a mark as a Carnatic vocalist. Nandini has already given numerous concerts all over Tamil Nadu and Kerala and sung in the hallowed precincts of the Music Academy and the Shanmughananda Hall in Mumbai. A winner of reality shows in Kerala and Tamil Nadu, Nandini's has released a CD, ‘Keshadi Padam,'. She lives in Thiruvananthapuram.
It is not true that one has to be in Chennai to be a successful Carnatic musician. There are discerning audiences in Kerala, especially in certain places like Palakkad, Thrissur, Tripunithura, Thiruvananthpuram, and so on where the listeners are veterans of classical music. They can compare, analyse and critically review any concert. That is of great benefit to a budding singer; she says.
