His strongest musical influence is his father and guru Dr. L. Subramaniam, but he has also been influenced by Semmangudi Srinivasa Iyer, Jascha Heifetz, David Oistrakh and Maxim Vengerov. Ambi plays a 5-string acoustic/electric violin and a 4-string acoustic violin; he endorses D'Addario strings. ==Early life== Ambi Subramaniam was born in Los Angeles, California, to Dr. L. Subramaniam, a violinist/composer and Vijayashree Subramaniam, a singer. He was the youngest of four children. After the death of his mother in 1995, his family relocated to Bangalore, India. His father married Bollywood playback singer Kavita Krishnamurti on 10 November 1999 and he lives with them and his sister Bindu Subramaniam, a singer/songwriter, and brother Narayana Subramaniam, a surgeon, in Bangalore. From age 3, he has learnt Carnatic violin under the tutelage of his father L. Subramaniam. He has also studied western classical violin, piano and Carnatic singing. In his own words, "Music is the only language I know and having such stalwarts around me has helped me tremendously. Every time I'd see my dad practice I wanted to replicate him and that's how it all started."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Violinist Dr. L.
