He learnt Hindustani vocal in the Gwalior and Kirana gharana styles under the Veerashaiva saint and Hindustani musician, Puttaraj Gawai. He blends these styles effortlessly in his presentations, though he admits to influences beyond these gharanas. Raag Miyan ki Malhaar (a.k.a. Miyan Malhar) is said to be composed by one of the navaratna of Mughal Emperor Akbar's Diwan-E-Khas, the great maestro Miyan Tansen himself. It is considered as the raag of rainfall and hence is popularly associated to the monsoon season. It belongs to the "Kafi Thaat" from Jati, "Sampurna - Shadhav Vakra". Though various types of Malhar are being sung, viz. Sur Malhar, Gaud Malhar, Nat Malhar, Ramdasi Malhar etc., yet only Miyan Malhar becomes obvious when one mentions Raag Malhar. This baithak was held at the initiative of Ved Gupta as a part of bazm e Khas foundation live concerts. The idea behind this upload is to preserve this collection of great music for all music lovers and students of Hindustani music. Join the mehfil of Sur and Sargam with Bazmekhas.
