Personal life[edit]

Harikrishna was born in 1974 in Bangalore, in the Karnataka state of India. At eight years old, he began playing keyboard in an orchestra that he father bought and named after him, in 1982. He took to playing the keyboard professionally in 1987 and discontinued his studies after matriculation. In his first professional assignment, he worked with composer, Manoranjan Prabhakar. Following his father's passing away in 1990, Harikrishna took over his mechanic shop, where he worked as a mechanic. In 1994, following composer Sadhu Kokila's insistence, Harikrishna took to music again.[1]
Harikrishna is married singer and composer Vani Harikrishna, the granddaughter of veteran composer G. K. Venkatesh in 1997.[6] They have a son, Aditya, who started as a playback singer with one of Harikrishna's composed films.

Career[edit]

Music programming and arranging[edit]

Harikrishna started out working as an assistant to many leading music directors in 1990's including HamsalekhaV. RavichandranSadhu KokilaGurukiran among others.[7] He has worked as a programmer, an arranger and as a keyboard player for many music directors. He has worked for feature films, short films, daily soaps, ad jingles and private musical albums.

Music direction[edit]

In 2006, Harikrishna was first signed up to compose music for actor Darshan's first home production Jothe Jotheyali.[8] Until this time, Harikrishna was a struggling musician under the protege of actor - director V. Ravichandran. Despite the industry's negative feedback for his move, Darshan went on to sign him as the music director. The film, starring Prem and Ramya in the lead and Darshan in a guest role, was directed by Dinakar Thoogudeepa and had a successful run for about 25 weeks. The film's soundtrack was hugely popular upon release and this immediately silenced the critics.[9] This was immediately followed by the actor's second home production Navagraha. Since then, Harikrishna has been the official composer for most of the Darshan starrer films and productions. Some of the successful collaborations with Darshan include Bhoopathi (2007), Gaja (2008), Porki (2010) , Prince (2011), Saarathi (2011) and Chingari (2012) to name a few.
His first collaboration with director - lyricist Yogaraj Bhat for the film Gaalipata (2008) starring Ganesh fetched him his maiden Filmfare award for his successful soundtrack. Another film Payana in the same year saw him belting out soft romantic melodies which was appreciated.[10] The year 2009 proved to be more successful for him with back to back successful soundtracks for the films such as AmbariJungleeRaamMaleyali Jotheyali and Raj, The Showman. While in the former film, he debuted as a playback singer, the latter film fetched him his second Filmfare award for best music direction.
In 2010, Harikrishna composed for 8 feature films and most of them were received very well upon release. Most noteworthy being Jackie which fetched him his third and hatrick Filmfare award and Super directed and enacted by Upendra. The year 2011 saw him composing for over 14 films with many of them turning to be blockbusters and musically well appreciated. PrinceHudugaruVishnuvardhanaSaarathiParamathma and Jogayya turned out to be biggest musical blockbusters cementing the top status for him. The success was followed in 2012 with ChingariAnna BondKatariveera SurasundarangiAddhuriJaanuDrama Yaare Koogadali and Prem Adda receiving enormous positive response both musically and at the box-office. He was also awarded for his singing in Anna Bond by the SIIMA. His fourth Filmfare award was for his second collaboration with Yogaraj Bhat, DramaAddhuri won him Udaya awards for his music direction.
