Rashmi Vijayan sings for Bhagyaraj movie

Rashmi Vijayan sings for Bhagyaraj movie

Some time ago in one of my music reviews I had mentioned about an upcoming singer and labelled her as the future generations Voice. It is not an easy task to create an own style which captures the complete arena during a performance.
I am talking about Rashmi Vijayan, whose 4th movie song for the Bhagyaraj movie "Siddu Plus 2 First Attempt" starring Shanthanu Bhagyaraj has just been released at Madras.

Born on 02nd November to Mrs. Ragini and Mr. Vijayan, Rashmi did her schooling at Our Own English High School, Dubai, and went on to Graduate from Manipal University in Dubai in the field of Media and Communication. Currently she is pursuing her Masters in Broadcast communications at MOP Vaishnav College for Women in Chennai.

She is also a trained classical dancer and with interests in playing the keyboard and flute, and is also an occasional blogger. Rashmi studied Carnatic music under Sri Babu John in Dubai for 8 years and later on studied Hindustani with Sri. Shiva Iyer in Dubai.

Some of her achievements in her Music journey thus far are:

• Asianet Voice of Arabia Semi Finalist
• Zee TV Saregamapa Middle East Muqabla - (First Runner up-Gulf)
• Sony TV "Indian Idol Season 3"-Finalist (Last 28-All India)
• Amrita TV Superstar Global -Finalist (Last 11-Global)

She has done many stage performances in different locations in Trivandrum, Kochi, Chennai, Bangalore, Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
Her dedication, confidence and appeasing style to get along with peers and equals have given her opportunities to perform along with M/s. Shankar Mahadevan, Sunidhi Chauhan, Mahalaxmi Iyer, Shaan, M.Jayachandran, Unni Menon, Vani Jayaram, Sujatha,Stephen Devassi, Biju Narayanan, Vijay Yesudas, Franco, Jassi Gift, Anwar Sadat, Jyotsna, Rimi Tomy, Sangeeth, Pradeep Babu, Roopa, Ratheesh, Latha, and of course Anand. Talking about Rashmi and Anand together on stage for an event, they both literally rock the show.
