Being the loving son of Late Austin Munasinghe, a Veteran Musicologist in Sri Lanka Tharu has a genetic inheritance of the music and has already proven that he will extend the frontiers of the Sri Lankan Music and take it to the world.

Tharupathi was selected to participate in the Berlinale talent Campus held in Germany in February. He said it was the first time a local music composer had been able to participate in that event and was a good opportunity to improve his talents.

Sharing experience with other artists from various countries and participating in training programmes, have helped me to improve my skills," he said.
