Arshad Ali is one of the few prodigies to live up to their initial promise. Born in Kirana Gharana, he has been fortunate to receive taleem from maternal uncles, Mashkoor Ali Khan and Mubarak Ali Khan. He is the grandson of great Sarangi maestro late Ustad (Padmashri) Shakoor
Khan Saheb. When he was 4 years old, he was heard by judges of a talent contest organized by ITC SRA at Delhi. He simply swept them off their feet and got selected. Since then he left his home and come to Kolkata to learn music at ITC SRA as its youngest scholar.

Arshad is a performer par excellence. At this tender age, he is undoubtedly the most celebrated little Ustad of our country having been featured in many prestigious programs of Doordarshan and most of the major dailies and magazines of this country.

In the year 1993, practically all the dailies of Pune (Maharashtra) described him as 'the biggest sensation of Sawai Gandharva Sammelen' when he went there on a special invition from Pandit Bhimsen Joshi on the occasion of his 75 birth anniversary. Wherever he has performed, music lovers could not help noticing him. With riyaz and taleem, he is upholding the traditions of one of the oldest and most beautiful gayaki of the Kirana Gharana.


Much more than child's play---watching young Arshad Ali Saheb sing the difficult vilanbit taal with the absolute ease----one realized that the young performer meant business... Ali's breathtaking performance left the audience spellbound and earned the little master a loud ovation. . . .
