Born in Paravai in Madurai, Muniyamma rose to fame with her song Singam Pola from Chiyaan Vikram's Dhool movie. At the early stage, he started off her career as a singer by performing at temple functions. However, she became famous by participating in local and international concerts under a music troupe, Lakshman Shruti.
