About Awards, Media & Blessings
Receiving recognition from platforms like the Dubai Poetry Festival and the Global Film Festival feels like a true blessing from the Almighty. It is not just about the trophies or headlines, but the connections I build with listeners who have supported my journey from Delhi to international stages. These moments remind me that my work—be it a Sufi night or a Ghazal performance—is about reaching hearts and sharing the tradition of my Gharana.
My journey in music is rooted in the deep-seated training of the Rampur Sahaswan Gharana. While I am honored to be a Delhi Ratan awardee and to have received the Kalki Gaurav Samman, my primary goal remains the same: creating an honest, soulful experience for my audience. Whether I am performing at a prestigious film festival or a private wedding, my band Murshid and I strive to maintain that authentic 'Mehfil' vibe.
Media features and industry awards act as markers of the trust that organizers and listeners place in us. When you see our work featured in newspapers or recognized at events, it reflects our commitment to reliability, professionalism, and the high-energy delivery our clients expect for their special days.
We do not just show up to play songs. We curate a flow, weaving poetry into performances to engage the crowd. From performing at large-scale corporate events to intimate weddings, we ensure our sound—whether acoustic or a full 14-piece ensemble—is balanced and impactful. If you are looking for a Sufi singer in Delhi or a live band that brings both tradition and modern energy to your venue, my journey and these recognitions are a testament to the consistency we bring to every single gig.
