Ustad Shujaat Husaim Khan
Ustad Shujaat Husaim Khan is one of the greatest North Indian classical musician of his generation. He belongs to the Imdad Khan Gharana (tradition) of the sitar (lute) and is the seventh in the unbroken line from his family that has produced many musical masters. His style known as the gayakiang, is imitative of the subtletics of the human voice.

Ustad Shujaat Husaim Khan is the son and disciple master sitarist, Ustad Vilayat Khan. His musical pedigree continues back through his grandfather, Ustad Inayat Khan; his great-grandfather, Ustad Imdad Khan; and his great-great-grandfather, Ustad Sahebdad Khan- all leading artists of their generation.

At the age of three, Sujaat began practicing on a specially made small sitar, and by the time he was six, the child prodigy stated giving public performances. Since then he has performed at all the prestigious music festivals in India and has traveled around the world performing in Asia, Africa, North America and Europe. Ustad Shujaat Husain Khan has developed his own unique style of playing Indian classical music. His approach to rhythm is largely intuitive, fresh and spontaneous, always astonishing his audiences.
