Sangeetha Sivakumar is among the popular musicians in the field of Carnatic music. Her music is known for its crispness, clarity of thought and presentation. She has the great capacity of being extremely creative within the bounds of tradition and classicism.

She started learning music at the age of 9, from Sri K.P. Vasu of Calicut and later became the disciple of famous vocalist, Smt Charumathi Ramachandran, Chennai. She has been regularly performing in various Sabhas all over India, and in the prestigious Margazhi music festival conducted in Chennai every year.
