He performed drumming during the IPL Championships in 2008 and 2010. He is affiliated with the Chennai Super Kings team, but gained recognition through his role as A. R. Rahman's lead percussionist.
Sivamani is the son of S. M. Anandan, a Chennai-based percussionist. He began drumming at the age of seven. Sivamani started his musical career at the age of 11, and later shifted to Mumbai. He was inspired by Noel Grant and Billy Cobham. He has played for M.S.Viswanathan, Illayaraja, A R Rahman and others. In 1990, he shared the stage with Billy Cobham at Mumbai's Rang Bhavan. He has stated that S. P. Balasubrahmanyam is his godfather.
Sivamani's earliest experiments with music were with Carnatic maestros including Kunnakudi Vaidyanathan, T. V. Gopalakrishnan, Valliyapatti Subramaniam and Pazhanivel, and L. Shankar. The tabla player Zakir Hussain invited him to share the stage with himself and Trilok Gurtu at a fusion concert in Mumbai. Sivamani has since collaborated with several musicians including Louis Banks. He has done world tours with A. R. Rahman and collaborated with him for Bombay Dreams. He has also been a part of a musical group called Shraddha which comprises Shankar Mahadevan, Hariharan, U. Srinivas and Loy Mendonsa.

Por favor dame solo un momento,
De tu tiempo amor,
No compliques mas esto,
Ya no cambies, no,
El tema te lo juro es lo mejor,
Para los dos.
Pienso en ti, pero al verme al espejo,
También pienso en mi,
Detrás de este reflejo alguien grita por mi,
Pidiendo auxilio para alejarse, de ti.
Y es inconsciente seguir fingiendo,
Siente como me alejo,
Yo no soy tu salvación para seguir,
Con esta falsa, no.
Siento que no es honesto
Mentirte mas con esto,
Porque finjo que tiemblo
Cada vez que te beso,
Lamento decir esto
Pero yo no te quiero.
Continuar, querer perdiendo el tiempo,
Que venga a salvar,
Fantasmas que hemos hecho,
De una realidad,
Que nunca podrá disfrazar, jamás.
Y es inconsciente seguir fingiendo,
Siente como me alejo,
Yo no soy tu salvación para seguir,
Con esta falsa, no.
Siento que no es honesto
Mentirte mas con esto,
Porque finjo que tiemblo
Cada vez que te beso
Lamento decir esto
Pero yo no te quiero.
Pero yo no te quiero...
Porque siempre será mejor hablar con la verdad,
Tratarnos con honestidad,
Evitar un triste final sin solución.
Siento que no es honesto
Mentirte mas con esto,
Porque finjo que tiemblo
Cada vez que te beso
Lamento decir esto
Pero yo no te quiero.
Siento que no es honesto,
Mentirte más con esto.
Lamento decir esto,
