Early life

Born and brought up in Chennai, Suchitra is a BSc graduate from Mar Ivanios College (Trivandrum). Later on she moved to Coimbatore for her MBA (PSG Institute of Management). She was part of a music band at PSG.[1]

Career

Suchitra joined Sify for a year, after graduating. She responded to an ad for the post of an RJ in Radio Mirchi.[2] She became known as Rj Suchi, with her popular morning show Hello Chennai. Her distinct and bold voice made her very popular with the younger crowd. She still does a radio show called Flight983 on Radio Mirchi, on Sunday evenings (7–9 pm). The show deals with interesting international happenings.[3][4]

She started singing after a few years as RJ.[5] She also worked as a dubbing artist for popular heroines like Shriya Saran.[6]

Her career as a playback singer now spans Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam films and she has several hits in all these languages to her credit. Suchitra is a sought-after performer at Corporate and other such stage shows. She has also been appreciated for her honest and positive-humour-filled judging at Reality Shows like Vijay TV's Airtel Super Singer, Sun TV's Sun Singer, Asianet's Music India, and Bol Baby Bol on Gemini TV and Surya TV. 'Music I Like', an album of Suchitra's renditions of Mahakavi Bharatiyaar's poetry, set to contemporary tunes and music, released by Universal Music, was a turning point in her career.

Suchitra is now a singer-songwriter as well, composing music on her own and in collaboration with Singer Ranjith. Their YouTube channel 'Suchi and Ranjith' has all their updated work.[7]

She wrote a short story, a graphic illustration of an episode in the life of a black peppercorn called Kuru-Milaku, called "The Runaway Peppercorn".[8]

After her Twitter page was hacked in 2016, and the pictures and videos released by the hacker went viral under #suchileaks, following a spate of bad press owing to the fact that she only released a statement on Sun News saying she was focussed on shutting the page down, Suchi left for London to pursue culinary arts at Le Cordon Bleu .
