INTRODUCTION

After love, music is the second most "instrument" which touches the heart of every one, young and old alike. For love and music both have no barriers whatsoever and they transcend all boundaries. And when love and music mingle together and attain great heights because of the deep devotion of a musician then there is favour and applause not only men but of the creator himself who has gifted man with natural talents in music.

This very fact has been established time and again by many a great musician from time immemorial. One such great devotee of music is Jayachandran, a great playback singer the South India has seen and heard.

Jayachandran has carved his own niche in the South Indian music and till now has over 15000 recorded songs including film songs, albums and devotionals to his credit in Malayalam, Tamil, Kannada , Telugu and Hindi, . Jayachandran with his sweet and romantic voice has made light film music memorable with his immortal love songs which always tingle young hearts.

The intensity of this mellifluous voice could do such justice to love and romantic songs that Jayachandran is considered to be the most suited and god-gifted singer of love songs. For Jayachandran, age too has not been a barrier over the years of singing. Indeed his voice is getting younger with the passing of time just as love and music are ageless and love songs are an immortal creation of god.

CHILDHOOD

Being the son of a well-bred musician, music was not an extra curriculum for Jayachandran. He was with the presence of music from his childhood itself.

Jayachandran was born in 'Bhadralayam', Ravipuram, Ernakulam, and later his family moved to Irinjalakkuda. Fascinated by the beautiful notes of Mridangam, he began to learn the essence of that spectacular instrument at a very tender age. But he had not learnt any sort of classical music.

His musical insight and his genuine love for music had helped him in conquering an esteemed position in all the music contests he had participated. This helped him to be the maestro of music.
