Josyabhatla has been born and brought up in Kakinada. Hailing from a very well educated family of musicians.

Josyabhatla started learning music when he was merely a three-year-old. Akella Prabhakar Murty, his guru, ensured that he understands the nuances of music and gain the expertise knowledge in various types of ragas. It was a very normal thing for him not only to participate in the competitions but also win them in schools and colleges. However, his life went through a transition when he participated in a musical program.

In the year of 1995, SPB organized Paduta Teeyaga in which he participated and was able to reach the quarter-finals. The subsequent round tested the participant’s ability to compose a song and sing it. He gave his best performance due to which MM Keeravani, a music director, gave him an opportunity to work with him. As a result, he lost the contest that he participated in.
