Gedela Ananda Rao (February 16, 1944[citation needed] - May 6, 2021), commonly known as G. Anand or by his stage name Swaramadhuri, was an Indian Telugu playback singer.
Anand was born in Tulagam village in Srikakulam, a district in the state of Andhra Pradesh in India.
On one such occasion, he was declared the winner by renowned music director K. V. Mahadevan and singer S. P. Balasubrahmanyam.
During a function hosted by actor Chandramohan, Sri Navatha Krishnamraju heard him sing and subsequently introduced him to Venkatesh.
This led to his debut singing the song "Oka Venuvu Vinipinchenu" in the movie America Ammayi.
