Nikhitha

Nikhitha Srivalli was born in Hyderabad, Telangana. She primarily works as a singer in the Telugu entertainment industry. She began singing at the age of six, inspired by watching television. At this tender age, she participated in a locally organized music competition, where she had to compete with singers who were far older than her. Despite that, she won the competition and embarked on her journey as a singer. As a beginner, her mother taught her the art of singing. Later she pursued a master's with a gold medal in Andhra University and Ph.D. in music. After her great-grandfather, she is the only one in the family who has made a career in music. She ranked second place in the Super Singer 8. Since her childhood, she has always wanted to be a doctor, but later she realized she wanted to turn her passion into her profession.

Nikhitha started her training under the guidance of IVL Sastry Garu of the Sangeetha Janakulam. From the age of ten, she was trained by M. Jalajakshi Garu. She expresses her gratitude and bestows all credit to her music teacher, Mutnuri Jalajakshi.

Describing her voice, Nikhitha Srivalli says that her vocals are bold and crisp; Music Director Thaman was precisely in search of such a voice when he composed 'Yeda Poyinado.' In 2018, she sang 'Yeda Poyinado,' which turned out to be a huge success and brought her to the limelight. Her cover song Adiga Adiga went viral on YouTube. The trained Carnatic vocalist also works in the Shankar Mahadevan Academy as an Assistant Professor. She aims to set up her music school, where she intends to provide training in Carnatic and Film music, instrumental, etc.
