I am a student of Hindustani classical in Sitar and vocal from Ustad Shafaat Khan of the Imdadkhani gharana. He is the son and nephew of the legends, Ustad Imrat Khan and Ustad Vilayat Khan. I have participated in several private and public concerts and classical vocal solo with sitar and along with my Ustadji in many states. I also sing Bollywood and Tollywood Karaoke and have participated in private and public concerts and tv programs held by Indus TV (Shaam-e-gaana) and Ohmkara. Recently joined and participated in Raag Sudha concert held by Sri Manoj Govindraj ji for raag based Bollywood songs. I have made several YouTube videos with Pratik studio and Ohmkara in solos and duets (sung in both male and female voices by me), which are being received well by my viewers. I have also participated and am participating in several voice training workshops by Foram Shah ji , Sanjay Shah ji and Manoj Govindraj ji. I also recently joined Swarras Music Academy to learn bhajans from Sri Manoj Govindraj ji. I have also founded Dakshinbharat gana sabha in 2008 as an outlet for South Indian music for the Telugu community. It has more than seventy-five members. It’s the journey of music I enjoy not the destination. I am forever a student of music as it is humbling to know that there is so much to learn. Music has taught me how to cope with every curve ball life has thrown at me and gives me so much joy and happiness.
