BIO-DATA

SHASHANK SHEKHAR

(Sufi, Ghazal, Bhajan singer and music composer)

“Aftab-E-Ghazal” Shashank Shekhar is one of the most talented singers in the current Indian music scenario. Gifted with a golden voice, a thinkers intellect and a performers flair, he has been enthralling music enthusiasts with his singing for the past two decades.

His musical virtuosity is best reflected in his rendition of Ghazals, Sufi numbers and Bhajans. What makes him unique is his deep understanding of Indian classical music and literature and also the psychology of the audience which help him present meaningful yet entertaining performances for his listeners. 

His music comes straight from the heart and feeds the soul of his listeners. He is known to break down the abstract art form into laymans language because for him music is not just entertainment, but also a mirror to life itself. In the hundreds of concerts that he has performed both in India and abroad, he has managed to create loyalists and votaries.

Shashanks intuitive style developed very early in life as he was surrounded by music patrons and art lovers in his family. His ancestors employed court musicians and encouraged the classical tradition in the pre and post-independence times. His father too maintained this lively musical atmosphere at home. As a result, young Shashank reaped the benefit of being in the company of many stalwarts of their times. He, later, learned Hindustani Classical and Light vocal from Ustad Maujood Hussain Khan of the Agra Gharana and Pandit Narhari Pathak of the Darbhanga Gharana.
