Guruprasad was born to the Ghatam Vidwan Shri K. Nagaraja Rao and Smt Kallammal. He had his
initial training under his father and later had gurukulam under Ghatam Maestro Shri T.H. Vikku
Vinayakram who made him play many thala vadhya concerts and in turn removed fear of the stage
at an early age.
Subsequently he joined Shri V. Suresh, another prominent Ghatam Vidwan, as a sishya and learnt
Shri Kodhandarama Iyer fingering technique for playing the Ghatam. His quest for learning
further, advanced mathematics of Carnatic music, brought him into the able tutelage of Laya
Chudaroli Madurai Shri T. Srinivasan. Under his guidance, Guruprasad picked up many concepts
for simplifying intricate mathematics of Thala Vadhya.
Performances
He gave his debut performance at the age of 16 . Till now he has accompanied all the established
artistes in their respective fields of Carnatic music.
