Sultan Khan (musician)

Ustad Sultan Khan is a renowned Indian sarangi player and singer, specializing in the Hindustani Classical music tradition. He is known for his melodic control and capabilities. He is one of the members of the Indian fusion group Tabla Beat Science, along with Zakir Hussain and Bill Laswell.

He has taught big-time music producers such as Sukshinder Shinda and Ram Gopal Varma (who provided the music for his film, Deyyam) to play the sarangi. Belonging to the Indore Gharana, Khansahib's sarangi and gayaki ang (singing) make his presentation of Indian Classical Ragas unique and pleasing to critics. He has two well-known followers -- Ustad Ikram Khan (another sarangi player) and Vyas, Anand-- his only student who plays the sitar (transposing his Guru's music for the sitar gives Vyas a highly lyrical style). He is also the sitar player for the musical ensemble Arrows of Agape. The group was co-founded by Vyas and Justin Begigno in 2008 Fact|date=August 2008.

Ustad Sultan Khan gave his first performance at the All-India Conference at the age of 11, and since then has become to be recognized on an international scale, performing along with Pandit Ravi Shankar, George Harrison’s 1974 Dark Horse World Tour.
