### My story

Music's in my blood. I grew up playing my dad’s tunes at parties where folks barely listened, but I always felt it. Years later, I got to play that same piece on stage—this time, people really heard it. Ustad Z, Zakir Hussain, shaped my path. Waiting for Guru Purnima just to see him, pure magic. Now, whether I’m in Delhi or by Lake Geneva, my sitar’s always with me. Sometimes it’s Mozart, sometimes a raga—music follows me everywhere.

### My work

- **Sitar & Vocal Performances**: I do solo and group shows, from Indian classical sitar gigs to fusion sitar jazz, bhakti sangeet, and private events.
- **Signature Style**: My thing? Mixing tradition with blues, jazz, and a bit of rock. I call it the Mehtab Ali Niazi Experience.
- **Ensemble Magic**: I jam with tabla, violin, drums, and more. Every show’s a fresh ensemble music experience.
- **For the Love of Music**: I play for anyone who wants to feel—quiet morning ragas, high-energy contemporary raga fusion, or temple bhakti.
