Venkatesh Sharma took to Carnatic Music at an early age. His musical lessons began with Vid. T.R. Sreenivasan of Mysore and his music took a precise shape under his guidance of Sangeetha Kalaratna Vid. Neela Ramgopal of Bangalore. He picked up the art of Khayal Singing as he is influenced by Ustad Dilshad Khan of Mumbai. And now he is equipped with the knowledge of both music systems and emerged as one of the very few jugalbandhi vocalists of the country. His notable classical albums include Ragam, Taanam Pallavi in Ganamurthy, Hemavathi, Shubhapanthu varali and Gowri Manohari. He has also sung in Sanskrit film MUDRARAKSHASA. His recent Hindustani CD's "Evening Flight" (Evening & Night Ragas) and Raagantharanga - Raag ka Rang(Three ragas sung in both Carnatic and Hindustani Style) have made a big mark in the field of Hindustani Music. He is an approved artist of ALL INDIA RADIO and DOORDARSHAN.
