Haricharan
Haricharan comes from a family of music connoisseurs where his
grandfather P. S. Ganapathy was an organizer of mic-less Carnatic concerts in the 60s under the name “Aalapanaa”, and his grandmother Smt. Alamelu Ganapathy is a national awardee in Mathematics and has been in academia for more than 35 years. His
father G. Seshadri is a ‘B’ grade artist through AIR, and a bank
employee, and his mother Latha, a librarian in P. S. Senior Secondary School. Haricharan started learning Carnatic music at an
early age of seven under Smt. Sethu Mahadevan, and then from
stalwarts like K. V. Narayanaswamy, T. M. Prabhavathi and P. S.
Narayanaswamy.
