| His
father, the late Malabar Gopalan Nair, was a harmonist and a
classical vocalist during the post-independence era of the
50s. In those days there were no sophisticated audio or
light systems as we have today. As a matter of fact,
electricity itself was quite a luxury. For light, the
performer would have to use noisy petromax lamps, and also
had to sing loudly to reach the ears of thousands. But love
for the art of music inspired his father with a commitment
that established him as a musician of renown in the circles
he moved. |

| His
mother who shared his love for music was also a music
teacher who retired in the 60s and is now living with M.G
Sreekumar. His father passed away in Trivandrum in 1973 when
Sreekumar was quite young. But his life has always
been an inspiration for Sreekeumar to achieve the goals he
has set for himself. His father's passion for the art
of music has encouraged him to seek greater perfection in
all that he do. His brother, M. G. Radha Krishnan, who works
at the Trivandrum chapter of the All India Radio as a Senior
Music Director has done more than 100 films in Malayalam.
His deep involvement in music has raised him to the level of
an internationally famous music director. His sister,
Dr.K.Omanakutty, is also no new-comer to this melodious art
called music. She obtained her doctorate in Kathakali music
in 1985 and has a number of music show-cuts that include
artistes like K. S. Chitra, a leading play-back singer in
the world of contemporary Malayalam films. |
