Career
While Brindha was studying grade 10, Karthik Raja called her for a recording, but Brindha declined the offer since her board exams were near.[1] She made her debut as a playback singer with Mr. Chandramouli (2018).[2][3] Brindha sang the title track for the film. She was called to sing a song for the film after Dhananjayan, a family friend and the film's producer, listened to her voice while she was singing a prayer song for Agaram Foundation.[1][4] She went on to sing a song in Raatchasi (2019).[5][6] In a review of the soundtrack by The Times of India, the reviewer wrote that "The second song, Nee Yen Nanbanae, is ... a soothing melody sung by Brindha Sivakumar".[7] Her next song was in the film Jackpot (2019) and a critic from The Times of India stated that "Sinduri Vishal and Brindha Sivakumar have gone full throttle to bring out the energy in the nout letting the tempo slip even a wee bit".[8]
Personal life
Brindha's father, Sivakumar; brothers, Suriya and Karthi; and sister-in-law, Jyothika; are all actors who work in the Tamil film industry.[1] In 2005, Brindha married a granite industrialist who shares the same name as her father, Sivakumar.[9] They have a son and daughter.[10]
