Suvi Suresh aka SUVI (born as Swetha Suresh on 26 September 1987) is an Indian playback singer who predominantly works in Tamil cinema. She was a member of the band S5 launched by the channel SS Music. She shot to fame with the song "Kodaana Kodi" from Saroja, composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja.[1][2]
Swetha hails from Thrissur, Kerala, India.[3] She owes her name to a spelling mistake. She wanted to be known by her pet name "Swe" but on the Kuruvi cover her name was printed as "Suvi".[4] She currently resides in Southern California.[5]
Suvi auditioned for SS Music's voice hunt competition at age 17 and was selected to be part of S5 with Benny Dayal, Anaitha Nair, Bhargavi Pillai and Arjun Sasi. She also founded the band Soulsonic, the members of which currently perform with Funktuation, Benny Dayal's Band.[6]
Suvi started singing for films with the song "Kodana Kodi" from Saroja (2008), which became a popular song. She has regularly collaborated with the film's composer Yuvan Shankar Raja on other soundtracks, such as Sarvam (2009), Billa 2 (2012), and Taramani (2017). She has also worked with the likes of A. R. Rahman and D. Imman.
