Press, Media Features, and Artist Highlights
It is an honour to have my journey as a sitar player documented by platforms like Spotify and publications such as Travel + Leisure. These features are a reflection of my mission to make Indian classical music accessible to everyone.
I was honored to be the new face of ECHO, a Spotify India playlist dedicated to soulful sitar music. It's a great platform for listeners to discover both traditional and new sitar compositions.

About Press & Features
Every feature, whether it is a Spotify editorial playlist or a travel magazine profile, represents my effort to tell the story of the Bhendi Bazaar Gharana. It helps me bridge the gap between traditional ragas and the modern listener, which is exactly the energy I bring to every concert and collaboration, whether it is a corporate gala or an intimate gathering.
Being recognised by platforms like Spotify as the face of the 'ECHO' playlist is not just a milestone for my career, it is a testament to the fact that Indian classical music remains vital today. My music is deeply rooted in the training I received from my father and Ustad, Mohsin Ali Khan, yet my performances often incorporate elements of jazz and global fusion.
Publications like Travel + Leisure have highlighted my commitment to this balance. When I perform at historic venues or modern corporate events, I use the sitar not just to play notes, but to narrate a history that spans seven generations.
This media coverage serves as a window into my world. If you are looking to hire a musician who understands both the sanctity of a sunrise raga and the dynamic flow of a fusion set, these features give you a glimpse into my creative philosophy. I view every interview and feature as an opportunity to invite more people into the soulful, rhythmic world of the sitar.
