Dr. Sripathi Panditaradhyula Balasubrahmanyam (SPB) – A Brief Profile of a Great Music Icon
Dr. Sripathi Panditaradhyula Balasubrahmanyam mostly referred to as S. P. B. continues to enthral millions just as he did right here in Sahyadri, enthralling thousands who had gathered!

Dr. S.P. Balasubrahmanyam is a playback singer, music director and much more. He has garnered six National Film Awards for his works in four different languages apart from numerous other state awards.

Dr. S.P. Balasubrahmanyam seems to sing, even when he talks! Whatever be the song or the language, being an Indian, there’s no way one wouldn’t have heard Dr. S.P. Balasubrahmanyam sing, because he’s sung more than 40,000 songs!

Despite a fabulous musical career spanning over 4 decades, SPB remains down to earth. “But my goal was not to become a singer at all. It was an accident. I used to sing quite well, yes, I agree. But my goal was to become an engineer; never a filmi guy,” he insists.

Dr. SPB is honoured with the Guinness World Record for singing the most film songs. He is a recipient of Civilian Awards such as Padma Shri and Padma Bhushan from the Government of India.
