Mini bio
How it started.
Music began at school in Chennai, where Shruti played in a band. She later trained in Hindustani classical music under Pandit Manohar Kulkarni. Encouraged by her father, Kamal Haasan, to write and compose, she applied to Musicians Institute in Los Angeles, a step she describes as the beginning of her professional music life.
Finding her audience.
Her adult acting debut was Luck in 2009, the same year she composed music for Unnaipol Oruvan. Tamil film 3 and Telugu film Gabbar Singh helped establish her screen career in 2012. Race Gurram later brought her the Filmfare award for Best Actress in Telugu cinema.
Songs on her own terms.
Her independent music gives fans a more personal route into her writing. She wrote, composed and performed Edge, co-produced with Karan Parikh. On Monster Machine she is again credited as singer, composer and lyricist, working with music producers Karan Kanchan and Karan Parikh.
Across music and cinema.
For Inimel, Shruti composed and conceptualised the song and appeared alongside Lokesh Kanagaraj, with lyrics by Kamal Haasan. More recent vocal collaborations include A.R. Rahman’s Vinveli Nayaga and Sai Abhyankkar’s Pavazha Malli.
