She is the grand daughter of Shri Thillaisthanam Rama Iyengar, the devoted sishya of the great saint Thyagaraja. "Dr. T. Srinivasa Raghavan a noted musician and music critic of yesteryears is my grandfather' she proudly states.

It is such a rich tradition and the love for music in the family which has made her what she is today.

She learned to play the veena under the tutelage of Sangeetha Kalanidhi Shri K.P. Sivanandam Pillai and his wife Kalaimamani Smt. Sharada Sivanandham. She also has the honour of being trained by maestros like Veena Vidhushi Smt. Kalpagam Swaminathan.

Revathy was tutored not only in Veena but also trained in vocal music. Her training was formally completed when she was awarded the title "Sangeet Vidwan" from Tamilnadu Govt. Music College at Chennai.

She is more excited and thrilled playing live to an audience. She has performed all over India and outside India and has been awarded many titles and honoured by various institutions.
