Mysore, July 6

It is said that true talent cannot be hidden for long and comes forth at a very young age. This has been proved to be especially true in the case of D.K. Jaswanth, an 8th std. student of Marimallappa School in the city.

Son of K.V. Dattatreya and Jaya, residents of Siddhartha Layout in city, Jaswanth began to sing at an incredibly young age of four and went on to win the State-level Bhavageethe contest at age five.

The versatile youngster is learning senior grade Karnatak classical music under Vidu. Dr. Sukanya Prabhakar apart from Sugama Sangeetha under Divya and also keyboard.

His musical saga began with the Chinnara Loka (2005) programme in Udaya TV and Saregamapa Little Champs (2007-08). He bagged runner-up place in ETV’s Ede Tumbi Haaduvenu contest (2009-10). He has also sung many songs for Mysore Akashavani in 2009-10.

Jaswanth went on to win many laurels with first place in Kuhu Kuhu Kogile singing contest organised by Amoghavahini and Sad-hana Music, apart from being bestowed the title Mysore Kogile. Other titles too have followed him including Mandya Kogile.

His first places are not restricted to TV channels alone; he won the singing contest held at Amba Bhavani Temple in NR Mohalla in city, bagging the title Bhavani Ganasiri. He also won the Bhavageethe contest in the State-level Prathibha Karanji competition and the singing contest held under the aegis of Kannada & Culture Department.

At present, Jaswanth has been selected to sing in well-known playback singer Rajesh Krishnan’s music album. He has also lent voice to Muddu Madesha cassette with renowned singer B.R. Chaya and a solo CD Geethegala Gayana. Hope this young singer’s musical saga continues to reach greater heights.
