Sivamani's father Shri. S.M.Anandan, a
well-known percussionist in Tamil Film circles, inspired Anandan
Sivamani as a young lad. It was the magic of international
master, Noel Grant that enchanted Sivamani. The legendary
Billy Cobham also inspired him, who was his role model. He
lived his dream when he shared the stage with him for a live
concert in Mumbai. Sivamani's early experiments in fusion
were with the Carnatic legends Kunnaikudi Vaidyanathan and
T.V.Gopalkrishnan.
India's rhythm ambassador Zakir Hussain invited him to share
the stage with himself and Trilok Gurtu at a fusion concert
in Mumbai. Since then there has been no looking back. Sivamani
become a permanent fixture at concerts with Louis Banks, the
uncrowned King of Indian Jazz concerts.
Sivamani is still upgrading his skills with Indian masters
and winning his way into the hearts of millions of fans the
world over.
