T. P. Vivek: The Hindustani Journey of a Kerala-Born Musician

Meet T. P. Vivek, a musician born into music itself. Coming from a family steeped in the art form, he first trained in Carnatic music under his mother, Smt. T. P. Rugmini Amma, before honing his craft further under Smt. Rajeswari, Sri Nilambur Karthikeyan, Sri Thuvvur Krishnakumar, and Sri Vechoor Sankar.

For the past 15 years, Vivek has immersed himself in Hindustani Classical music — starting with Sri Sudheersha, then Smt. Aditi Gudi, and now training under the celebrated Ustad Fayaz Khan at Thrippunithura Bharatiya Sangeeth Vidyalaya.

A composer and singer for albums, Vivek also holds the honour of having sung Rama Bhajans before Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the Thriprayar Sreerama Temple on January 17, 2024 — earning the PM’s personal appreciation.

An anchor with All India Radio Kochi, T. P. Vivek breathes life into ghazals and soulful melodies, his acclaimed show Hridayageet resonating across venues with warmth and nostalgia. A musician of depth, he not only performs but also teaches Hindustani vocal music, guiding aspiring students with patience and passion. Beyond the stage, Vivek lends his voice and time to NGOs such as Petals Globe Foundation and Aptha Bharathi, weaving music into acts of service. 

His artistry shines most vividly in Hrudaygeet, where he blends classical ensembles—sitar, tabla, flute, harmonium—with traditional Malayalam compositions. At the Gowri National Cultural Festival in Palakkad, his performance became a tapestry of heritage and harmony, celebrated under the open sky of Rapadi auditorium.

Educated at the University of Calicut, he continues to nurture the next generation of musicians, carrying forward the timeless spirit of Hindustani music with elegance and devotion.

From classical roots to modern stages — T. P. Vivek’s journey is truly music with a soul.
