Sanat Prabhu is a young but veteran star of Radio Idli. He has perhaps experimented the most with his voice and tools of technology, all through his hostel room. Sanat has by far made the most innovative use of his voice through his excellent contributions like Kaapi With Sanat (bollywood talk show.. hear it to believe it). We present here a video of his performance, and an audio of a song where he sings Male as well as Female vocals!

Mr. JANARDHAN ATHRI, a good singer who has carved his niche among the male singers giving out stage shows, TV programs and the like from Kerala. He hails from Kochi, and likes to be known more by his clan name (Athri) rather than by his family name (Prabhu). It is indeed distinguishing that this talented artiste from Amchi community is running a Garment Distribution Business of his own, in Kochi, and stays with wife Mrs. Sunita and son Master Amey (Std 2). We present a song of Athri from an upcoming album of Konkani Karaoke.
