My Story
Music has been my world since I saw Ustad Zakir Hussain on TV as a kid. I’m the 8th generation from Kirana Gharana, son of Ustad Islamuddin Khan. My tabla journey started at 10, first stage at 12, learning under Ustad Akram Khan. Guru ki roshni mein chalna hai (walk in the Guru’s light)—that’s my mantra. Words fall short, but my tabla speaks for me. Life’s a sweet song, so let’s play.
My Work
Tabla Performances & Collaborations - I play Ajrara Gharana tabla solo, accompany Indian classical, and join fusion or Sufi projects for concerts, festivals, and private house gigs.
My Musical Style - I mix pure classical with Sufi fusion tabla, blending tradition and western sounds. Clarity and rhythm are my thing.
Mausiqaar - My Band - With my Delhi fusion band Mausiqaar, we make music that’s heartfelt and energetic. We’re more like brothers than bandmates.
What Drives Me - I play to honour my gurus and the masters. When people cheer, it’s magic and keeps me going.
