He showed a great deal of interest in music from a very early age and started learning Pakhavaj from a number of masters including Shri Kadau Singh Ji and Swami Ramdas Ji. He became the foremost exponent of Pakhavaj of his era. He accompanied all the great Dhrupad vocalists including the Dagar Brothers and Pt. Ram Chatur Malik.
