Veeramanidasan

Veeramani Daasan is an Indian singer of devotional songs and cinema songs. He received the Harivarasanam Award for the year 2024 from the Kerala state and Devosom Board. Veeramani Daasan reportedly led a music troupe named "Sruti Laya" during the initial part of his career. Through his association with this music troupe, he was involved in creating music that wasn't strictly devotional in nature. He transitioned to making devotional music at a much more regular frequency during the latter part of his career. He has had a brief stint as a playback singer for Indian movies, lasting 7 years. Beginning with Ramanuja Suprabhatham, Veeramani Daasan has come out with many albums including the recent "Amman Kovil". He has sung more than 6000 songs. He reportedly travels extensively for concerts. He makes devotional music not just in Tamil, but also in Kannada and Telugu too. He shot to fame with the popular devotional song "Yellam Valla Thaye". Despite the similarity of the last name, he has no relation with the Veeramani family, an established family also of Tamil origin.
