I play the Sarod primarily in the style of the legendary Ustad Amjad Ali Khan, who was my original inspiration and teacher. I have also imbibed influences from the Imdadkhani/ Etawah school of Sitar playing. I commenced music training at the age of five, moving to advanced vocal training in the ancient city of Varanasi.
At present, I am learning the Shahjahanpur style of sarod via the Sitar virtuoso, Pt Sugato Nag (a senior disciple of Pt. Buddhadeb Dasgupta), and also receives guidance from the Sitar maestro, Ustad Shahid Parvez. |
