edit

Madhavapeddi Satyam was born on 11 March 1922 at Brahmanakoduru village in Ponnur, Andhra Pradesh. He is the son of Sri Madhavapeddi Lakshmi Narasayya and Late Smt. Sundaramma. Satyam is a close relative of Madhavapeddi Suresh, a famous music composer in the 1990s.[1]

From his childhood he showed talent for singing and acting in dramas, inspiration being his paternal uncle Sri Madhavapeddi Venkatramayya, a well noted dramatist. He started portraying different roles in drama and one of them "Chalo Delhi" a social drama in which his singing, acting and music calibre was brought out for the first time in Madras (now Chennai). Spotted by director-producer Y.V. Rao in 1946, Satyam was fortunate to get an opportunity to act as Kabir in Y.V. Rao's film Ramadas and singing three songs in this bilingual film in Tamil and Hindi under the musical supervision of C.R. Subbaraman.

Immediately followed his entry into the Telugu film industry with his first Telugu song "Manasu Gaadha Khudha Thodai..." with Sri Ghantasala for the film Laila Majnu in the year 1949. He sang for S. V. Ranga Rao in Mayabazar and it was well received by audience.
