Nithyasree was born to Lalitha Sivakumar and I. Sivakumar. Her paternal grandmother, D K Pattammal and her granduncle, D K Jayaraman, were prominent Carnatic vocalists. Her maternal grandfather was Palaghat Mani Iyer, the Mridangam maestro.
Her mother, Lalitha Sivakumar, was her first Guru. Like her mother, Nithyashree came under the tutelage of D K Pattammal, and would accompany her in concerts. Nithyashree's father, an accomplished Mridangist and disciple of Palghat Mani Iyer, would constantly show his support and accompany Nithyashree when she performed. Nithyashree and her husband, Mahadevan, have two daughters, Tanujasree and Tejasree
