Skandaprasad, also a trained Bharatanatyam dancer, holds a bachelor's degree in Bioengineering from Sastra University but pursued a career in the performing arts.
She reportedly earned a Bharatanatyam degree from the University of Madras and has amassed a significant online following, with 1.13 lakh followers on Instagram and over two lakh subscribers on YouTube.
She is widely recognised for her renditions in filmmaker Mani Ratnam’s ‘Ponniyin Selvan’ movie franchise.
Ahead of the Ram Temple consecration ceremony in Ayodhya last year, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had praised her singing.
Sharing one of her Kannada bhajans dedicated to Lord Ram on X (formerly Twitter), he wrote:
"This rendition by Sivasri Skandaprasad in Kannada beautifully highlights the spirit of devotion to Prabhu Shri Ram. Such efforts go a long way in preserving our rich cultural heritage. #ShriRamBhajan"
