[edit]

K. M. Radha Krishnan was born in Wanaparthy and studied there until year three. He then went to Coimbatore and returned after a few years to complete schooling in Gadwal. His father KV Mohan, who worked for All India Radio since 1973, was Radha Krishnan's inspiration to become a musician. His father used to sing light music and was also an stage actor, performing in over 500 stage shows. Inspired by his father, Radha Krishnan learned Hindustani classical music with the help of Chaganti Lakshmi for a couple of years. He settled in Hyderabad, where he completed diploma at Hyderabad Music College and trained as a music teacher. He learned western classical music from Arnold for a couple of years and Carnatic classical music from Vengamamba. He conducted research on blending Hindustani music.
