K. N. SHASHIKIRAN (CARNATIC MUSICIAN & SOCIAL WORKER)
A popular Carnatic musician with over 5,500 concerts under his belt, Shashikiran burst into the Carnatic music scene as a two-year-old child prodigy who could identify hundreds of ragas, talas and answer technical questions with ease. He is a pioneer, having produced the world's first CD-ROM and VCD on Carnatic music, introduced numerous concepts such as Carnatic Symphony, Bharat Sangeet Utsav and Pallavi Darbar, and performed a marathon non-stop 24-hour concert for world peace with his cousin Chitravina P. Ganesh (with whom he performs duo concerts as the popular Carnatica Brothers). He is also the founder of Carnatica Archival Centre (an organisation which promotes Carnatic music and Indian culture around the world), a much-sought-after guru, author and entrepreneur. He is well known for his philanthropy, as a regular contributor to social and economic causes such as natural calamities, old age homes and orphanages.
Thus, International Book of Records acknowledges his achievements and contribution in the society and proudly announces the "INSPIRING HUMAN AWARD" on 8th June 2022.
