Azaan Khan comes from an illustrious background of Indian classical musicians. He is the son of Ustad Shujaat Khan and the grandson of late Ustaad Vilayat Khan. He has an innate sense of rhythm and melody and his knowledge of both Hindustani classical and western music, coupled with his ability to write his own lyrics, compose his own songs, sing, as well as play instruments such as the guitar, the piano and steel drums, makes azaan the multi - faceted musician that he is today.
After his schooling and college from Delhi University, Azaan was chosen to join KMMC, A.R Rehman's music conservatory, to learn under a host of distinguished teachers in subjects varying from Hindustani and western classical vocals, to music theory and music history.
This additional knowledge gained within a year helped him to carve a niche within the world of music, experimenting with genres of music such as grunge, fusion, jazz and acid jazz etc. He has also performed in places like South Africa, USA, UK, Mauritius and Dubai amongst others.
He was noticed by the popular record label SA RE GA MA, who signed him on to their label as the artist for today's youth. With his new album titled "Azaan Khan - PhiloSufi", Azaan wishes to reach the younger generation of the country, with his eclectic blend of sufi lyrics and tunes with genres like dubstep, drum and bass, and contemporary jazz.
