Balamurali was given paid concerts from his early age of 13-14 years. He was a full time sought after artist for around 7 years, and suddenly his voice gave trouble. He had to cancel the recitals. He and his family members thought that his career as a musician came to an end already. He was married and had two children by then. His father was deeply regretting that he had not sent Balamurali for normal education that could fetch a job. Balamurali had no certificates, whatsoever. Fortunately, soon later he regained his voice with more mature timbre.
