MALONEY of New York. Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay\ntribute to Ms. Kavita Krishnamurthy for her lifelong contributions to\nfilm and music. Throughout her decades-long career, Ms. Krishnamurthy\nhas performed all over the world and collaborated with renowned\nmusicians from a wide array of genres.\n  Ms. Krishnamurthy showed promise at a young age, winning a gold medal\nin the Inter-Ministry Classical Competition in New Delhi as an eight\nyear old. A year later, she recorded her first song with famed Indian\nsinger Lata Mangeshkar under the direction of composer Hemant Kumar.\n  By the 1990s Ms. Krishnamurthy was known as one of Bollywood's\nleading female playback singers. She won critical acclaim for her\nperformance in 1942: A Love Story and established herself as a lead\nsinger. She worked with several renowned directors including Bappi\nLahiri, A.R. Rahman, and Anu Malik.\n  Ms. Krishnamurthy began expanding her artistic range. She was the\nfeatured soloist in a global fusion album in which she worked with\nmusicians from five continents. Ms. Krishnamurthy began to explore\nfusion music, which brought her around the world to some of music's\nmost famous concert halls, such as the Royal Albert Hall in London, the\nLincoln Center in New York City, and the Zhongshan Music Hall in\nBeijing.\n  In 2007, Ms. Krishnamurthy co-founded the Subramaniam Academy of\nPerforming Arts, which serves as a home for global music in India. The\nAcademy exposes its students to music from all over the world and\ntrains them to love and respect the art they create.\n  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in celebrating Ms. Kavita\nKrishnamurthy for the lifelong contributions she has made to music,\nfilm, and education. Ms. Krishnamurthy is an inspiration and role model\nto musicians around the world.\n\n                          ____________________"]], "columns": ["granule_id", "date", "congress", "session", "volume", "issue", "title", "chamber", "granule_class", "sub_granule_class", "page_start", "page_end", "speakers", "bills", "citation", "full_text"], "primary_keys": ["granule_id"], "primary_key_values": ["CREC-2016-12-23-pt1-PgE1735-4"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 38.44653395935893, "source": "Federal Register API & Regulations.gov API", "source_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/developers/api/v1", "license": "Public Domain (U.S. Government data)", "license_url": "https://www.regulations.gov/faq"}
