Pyarelal Ramprasad Sharma is the son of a renowned trumpeter Pandit Ramprasad Sharma, who taught him the basics of music. He started learning violin at the age of 8 and practised it 8 to 12 hours daily.
He learnt to play violin from a Goan musician named Anthony Gonsalves. By the age of 12, his family's financial condition had deteriorated, which in turn forced him to earn money by playing in studios. Pyarelal then used to frequent and play the violin in studios such as Ranjit Studios, to earn money for his family. Pyarelal's real life brother Gorakh Sharma played guitar for various songs composed by the duo Lakshmikant Pyarelal.
In an interview with Annu Kapoor recently, he has mentioned that he was quite an adept violinist and expert in western form of music. Pyarelal even thought to try his fortune in the West and wanted to become a regular orchestra player with a renowned group. Lakshmikant dissuaded him and then they started the amazing journey of music for Indian cinema.
