When I started my career, never did I expect that one day I would be awarded a doctorate for music. It’s something new and will take some time for me to digest this feeling. Mahadevan, part of the music composing trio Shankar–Ehsaan–Loy and the voice behind numerous songs in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and Kannada languages, has been formally invited to receive BCU's highest honour at a ceremony in 2023. Andy Street, the mayor of West Midlands county in the UK, made the announcement during a recent trade mission event in Mumbai. Singer-composer Shankar Mahadevan will be felicitated with an honorary doctorate from Birmingham City University (BCU) for his outstanding contribution in the field of music and the arts.
