Ustad Shahid Parvez hails from the famous lineage of the Etawah tradition. He was initiated into music by his father, Ustad Aziz Khan and very soon made a name for himself as a young performer. As a matter of fact, he gave his first public sitar recital at the age of eight. Ustad Shahid Parvez received training in vocal music and tabla as well as the sitar and quickly established himself as a major attraction on the Indian Classical concert circuit. Today he is acknowledged by stalwarts like Pandit Ravi Shankar and Ustad Vilayat Khan as one of the finest sitar players alive and the torch bearer for the current generation. His playing is a perfect combination of gaiyaki ang (singing style) and tantrakari ang (instrumental style). He has performed to sold out concert halls and music festivals all around the world.
