Personal life

Chandrasena was born on 7 September in Garagoda, Yatiyanthota as the third child of a rural family with six siblings. His father Hettiarachchige Gunawardena was a mason.

After school times, he went to work at Mahaweli Development Board in Bathalayaya. He had to cut down forests, roads and drains. However after taking first salary, he quit from the job. Then he packed a box full of plastic items and went from house to house selling them.[7][3]

He is married to Mangalika Hettiarachchi.[2][8] The couple has one son Gayana Madhuwantha and one daughter; Lihini Vihanga.[5][3]

His daughter Lihini is also a singer who started career with the song Irai Hadai. Then she sang the songs, Tharu Dilena Ambare and Man Gawa Thani Wechchi.[9] Lihini went to three schools. She was educated at the Sri Sangamitta Girls' College, Colombo.[10] After that she moved to Gothami Balika in Colombo from the grade six to eleven. Finally studied A/L at Visakha Vidyalaya, Colombo. She is currently an undergraduate at the University of Jayewardenepura.[11]

Career

Since child age, Hettiarachchi participated in the singing competitions for the Sinhala New Year, Vesak and Poson where he was first in all these competitions.[5] He wrote and mailed a song in his own words such as "Jayabhumi Sri Lanka - Rakaganna Jaya Bhumi Lanka" for a singing competition.[12] In 1979 Youth Awards, he sang the first song Jayabhumi Sri Lanka at the Kegalle Girls' College.[3] Hettiarachchi became the first from the Kegalle district and later competed in the All Island competition and became the first.[4][7][13]

In 1980, he joined with the youth choir which was first established by the National Youth Services Council (earlier known as Bellwood Music Academy) on September 1.[7] Hettiarachchi learned music under the music teachers Premadasa Mudunkotuwa and Sisira Kumara Marasinghe.[5] His contemporaries of the choir consist with Somasiri Medagedara, Marshall Janatha, Chandralekha Perera, Dhammika Karunaratne and Theja Damayanthi.[14] Musicians Shirley Vaijayantha and Nihal Gamhewa were the lyricists.[3][15] He sang the first duet Seetha Kandu Yaye with Chandralekha at the Batangala Training Center.[2][12]

His first recorded song was Lo Satha Hata Setha Sedu. But the first song that first popularized was Thavalam Api Yanawa, composed at the Bellwood Television Village.[12] At Bellwood, he recorded two more songs; Sede Samayay Jeewithe and Yeheliyaka Se.[5] Meanwhile, the artists in the youth choir made a music cassette called "Yowun Gee 1" under the banner "Sangeetha Samagama".[2][3]
