BIOGRAPHY


Tausif ali was born on 16th october. He belongs to the oldest school of music, namely Gwalior Gharana. The Gharana which produced legends like Mian
 taan sen, Baba Banne khan, Pyare khan,
 Ustad Umeed ali khan, Ustad Ghulam rasool khan, Ustad Manzoor ali khan, Ustad Hameed Ali khan and, the
 taan sen of 21st century, Ustad Fateh ali khan (gwalior).
Tausif himself is the ninth generation in an un-broken lineage of world renowned vocalists. He started learning the art of singing 
from his uncle the 
illustrious Ustad Fateh Ali khan(Gwalior) from a very young age and started giving performances with the big 
names like Abida Parveen and Ustad Fateh Ali khan(Gwalior) himself. He also had an honour to render
 a performace before Malka-e-taranum Noor jahan in a private gathering when he was only seven.
Tausif ali has a wide experience of great stages at a very young age. He has a very good control over his wide ranged voice. He basically is a Classical-based singer and renders khyal, thumri, kafi, folk and ghazals by putting 
his idiosyncratic touch in them which gives them a unique flavour. He also renders the musical genres which are in rage these days with equal ease.
Presently, he is working on his debut 
album in which he has used his experience of Classical music. He has fused it with different genres like rock, pop, techno, jazz etc 
to suite the taste of a modern listener. His debut album will be 
show-cased in the market by 2010. In which he has chosen a few things from the soil of our heridity but with a difference and some novel 
experiments. 
This album is produced by RADK-Adnan Dawood Khan (Saraab band)...
