Early life and career

Khan was born 5 September 1979 as the son of sarod player Amjad Ali Khan and Subhalakshmi Barua Khan, a classical dancer.[1][2] His birth name was Bangash and he was born in at least the fifth generation of musicians; the Bangash lineage claims to have invented the sarod.[3][4][5] Khan has an older brother, Amaan, and they were taught music by their father from a young age and later began to perform with their father on concert tours.[6]

Khan has performed with his father and brother since the late 1980s and performed at Carnegie Hall in 1997.[7][8] He released his solo debut album of classical music in 1999.[9] Khan hosted the music talent show Sa Re Ga Ma on Zee TV with his brother for three years in the early 2000s.[10][11] In 2002, Khan and his brother wrote a book about their father, Abba: God's Greatest Gift To Us.[10] Moksha, a 2005 album made in with Amaan and Amjad Ali Khan and released by Real World Records, was nominated for Grammy Award for Best Traditional World Music Album.[12] The brothers released Reincarnation, an album of world fusion music, in 2006, and a thematic album, Mystic Dunes, in 2007, and toured internationally.[13] They were awarded a Lycra Style Award from MTV India in 2006.[13] Khan and his brother also sing, including on the 2007 tribute album Remembering Mahatma Gandhi.[14] Khan joined his family to perform for the Parliament of India in 2007.[15] In 2009, after working under a movie contract that forbade public appearances for a year, the brothers returned to making music when the production by Bollywood director J.
