About Neeraj Prem

Neeraj is often described as a painter at the Sitar, weaving musical images in the air with his dense, mystic and technically perfect playing. The remarkably fresh music originating from the "canvas" is attested to by his immense popularity among music lovers. He is a composer who has mastered both classical technique and adroit improvisation and who, at the same time, is exceptionally comfortable as a performer too. Shagird (student) of USTAD SHUJAAT KHAN Neeraj belongs to the Ustad Vilayat Khan Gharana of Hindustani Music. He has managed to, in time, develop a niche for himself in the music scenario as one of the most versatile Sitarists of our times. He follows the "GAYAKI ANG" (Vocals Style) of playing Sitar."
