Venkatesh Kumar is one of the most popular and richest Singer who was born on July 1, 1953 in Dharwad, Karnataka, India.

Venkatesh Kumar’s father late Huleppa was a folk singer and a leather puppeteer. In 1968, when he was 12 years old, Venkatesh Kumar was taken by his uncle Belagallu Veeranna to the Veereshwara Punyashrama in Gadag, run by the Veerashaiva saint and Hindustani musician, Puttaraj Gawai. Kumar lived and learned Hindustani vocal in the Gwalior and Kirana styles under Gawai at the ashram for the next 12 years. Kumar blends these styles in his presentations, though he admits to influences beyond these gharanas, chief among them being Bade Ghulam Ali Khan of the Patiala gharana. His guru was also trained in Carnatic music, and as a result, there are traces of Carnatic elements – especially in his sargam patterns – in Pandit Kumar’s music.

Kumar got his first break in 1993, 14 years after he left the ashram. He received a telegram-invitation from Bhimsen Joshi to perform at the Sawai Gandharva Sangeet Mahotsav in Pune that year. However, he had to wait for almost another ten years before he became a regular on the national festival circuit. Since then he has featured in many national musical programs, and has been an “A” grade artist of All India Radio since 1988.
