Above all Shyami has hereditary affiliations for her journey in music as father and grandfather both competent musicians with ability to sing and play any musical instrument. Father is a full time musician, mother is a teacher all six siblings three in each gender all could sing well. Hence from her younger days music was heard within her dwelling. Together with her innate singing ability it was a morale booster for Shyami to pursue a career in singing which she had commenced in around year 1976. She had been never thought music by anyone but the environment at home had made her to be a self-made and thought vocalist. Shyami had confessed that it was by listening to singing legends like Barbra Streisand and Natalia Cole she had learnt of course with perseverance. She has had a powerful singing voice perhaps inherited. She had followed Sri Lankan singers Dalrene Suby and Mignone Ratnam when she was adolescent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/y4GG2NpTOH4\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-92044 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Shyami-Fonseka-Phenomenal-songster-reminiscence-\u2013-by-Sunil-Thenabadu-2.jpg\" alt=\"Shyami Fonseka: Phenomenal songster reminiscence \u2013 by Sunil Thenabadu\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" \/>Shyami had been a very bright student though had intentions to be a doctor had ultimately pursued a career in singing to which she had affirmed as she\u00a0could make audiences delighted. While in school she had taken part in concerts and dances. She had confessed that as her mother was teacher was subject to be transferred every two years, but had been a product of Ladies College. Hence she had attended a number of schools as mother had shifted to many places during her tenure as a teacher. She recollects she cannot recall tenure in one school for over a period of two years. Apart from following Barbra and Natalia Shyami had followed Sri Lankan music. The song \u2018Wanadewliya Thurule\u2019 of Indrani Perera was adored by her. She recollects singing this song at home with her two sisters forming another \u2018three sisters\u2019 alliance. Although she had oozing talent in abundance she had never thought of pursuing a career at SLBC the only radio channel existed then. However she and the entire family of eight had participated on invitation as a \u2018Choir\u2019 unit for programs at the SLBC. Shyami had added that all siblings and parents are professionals in music field but younger brother Yohan and his wife are full time into music as her father. Grandfather Boniface Fonseka had been a choir director.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"m_3752817331169256807elementtoproof\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Shyami had been spotted by Clarence Wijewardena for his \u2018Golden Chimes\u2019 band as she possessed a westernised singing voice. This was from where Shyami propelled to fame. Initially Clarence had scripted four songs to a CD for music in his own inimitable style which in fact changed the Sri Lankan music culture drastically. The solo songs recorded were \u2018Geeyakin Kese\u2019, \u2018Rasa Pirunu katha\u2019, \u2018Aa Ha Ha Danee\u2019 and a duet with Clarence himself \u2018Me Seetha Reye\u2019. The solo songs sung by Shyami approximately forty years ago are still hits. The song of Mignone Ratnam \u2018Kedelle Ehiwu Kirillie Wage\u2019 sung at weddings is more or less her song which is so popular is sung at Concerts too, the lyrics were by Karunaratne Abeysekera while the melody is a German tune. These famous songs have been sung by so many novices at reality and many television programs regularly where very unfortunately not even her name is mentioned. It is said all do distort the original song. Perhaps the singers themselves would not know the name of the original singer, what a pathetic state of affairs. Shyami had confirmed that only one such person had sought her permission to sing a song of hers. It was quipped that at an indoor concert one novice singer had sung a song that she was to sing, for which she has had absolutely no regrets.<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rHsooLhd5Zc\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Shyami has been involved for some time in the teaching profession as a music teacher at the Lyceum International School in Colombo, which she adores particularly to teach young children the basics of singing. She affirmed that she does \u2018voice training\u2019 to them which facilitates her voice remains in a trim circumstance though she does not sing regularly. Shyami had confessed that she does not own the same tender voice she possessed when young which is natural to any vocalist. Shyami had been at her peak when she was around eighteen years old. The film producer Sena Samarasinghe and legendary musician Sarath Dassanayake both deceased had been searching for a westernised voice for the film \u2018Mal Kekulu\u2019 for which the musical score was by the latter in which Shymai too had portrayed a\u00a0small character. Both\u00a0songs were duets one sung with Milton Mallawarachchi titled \u2018Lassana Desak\u2019 in a scene of a party where Fareena Lye and Gamini Fonseka had participated. The music was by Sarath Dassanayake while the lyrics were by KDK Dharmawardena. The other song was a duet with another legendary singer Gratien Ananda also to the music composition of Sarath Dassanayake to the lyrics of Somapala\u00a0\u00a0Leelananda.<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"m_3752817331169256807elementtoproof\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"m_3752817331169256807_x0000_i1026\" class=\"CToWUd a6T alignleft\" tabindex=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/ci3.googleusercontent.com\/proxy\/tjEVBSXiw8Mks3IxAn0AT2LiUD67JVyaoM4w5lVObekD9AWrxzDheFTllT2xZ1DfvtriGd43fPz1Emd4TQDiWtLRUJUjypsfxBw9lUsYY7A=s0-d-e1-ft#http:\/\/www.sundaytimes.lk\/220515\/uploads\/SHYAMI-FONSEKA-2.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"452\" border=\"0\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"m_3752817331169256807elementtoproof\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Both songs are still \u2018hits\u2019 heard over the airways in FM channels often.<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Shyami had recorded many songs since her first CD was launched for cassettes and CD\u2019s viz. \u2018Avarin Mala Hiru\u2019, \u2018Ran Ruwak Genalla\u2019, \u2018Gigiri Walalu Sala\u2019, \u2018Ma Ahinskai\u2019, \u2018Puthuge Tikiri Sina\u2019, \u2018Obai Wasanthe\u2019, \u2018Avarin Malahiru\u2019, \u2018Ron Soyanna Epa\u2019, \u2018Lassana Desak\u2019, \u2018Suranganawan\u2019, \u2018Innam Langama Obe\u2019, \u2018Awasara Neth Mata\u2019, \u2018Adareda Desin\u2019, \u2018Seetha Ude\u2019, \u2018Udin Udin Yana\u2019, \u2018Hithata Hithe\u2019.
