Early life
Sid Sriram was born in Chennai, Tamil Nadu to a Tamil Hindu family. He moved with his parents to United States at the age of one, growing up in Fremont, California. His musical skills were nurtured by his mother, Latha Sriram, a Carnatic music teacher in the San Francisco Bay Area. He started learning Carnatic music since he was 3 years old.
He simultaneously started picking up R&B. After graduating from Mission San Jose High School in 2008, he joined the Berklee College of Music and graduated in music production and engineering. After his graduation, he regularly visited India and performed in Carnatic concerts, including as a part of the December Music season - Marghazhi Utsavam and has since moved back to India and currently resides in the Mylapore area in Chennai.
Career He made his debut as a music composer where he would compose for ace director Mani Ratnam's production, Vaanam Kottatum, which is directed by Mani's former assistant and director of Padaiveeran, Dhana Sekharan. His "Srivalli" song from Pushpa: The Rise was well received.
Outside of films, Sriram released his own debut LP Entropy in 2019, based on the independent song of the same name that he published in 2012. He began production on Sidharth, an all-English album, in 2021 with producer Ryan Olson on the label Def Jam. The album mixes Carnatic music with R&B and indie rock influences that Sriram has previously explored. The album was released on August 25, 2023, following the release of singles Dear Sahana, The Hard Way, and Friendly Fire. He has also collaborated with independent musicians on various singles as a featured artist.
