Tauseef Akhtar Biography and interview with images whatsapp mobile Contact number and Address info

Blessed with a remarkable stage-presence Tauseef Akhtar naturally draws the listener to his sweet timbre and a soulful yet melodious voice. Born in a family of learned musicians and knowledgeable scholars of Urdu language and poetry, Tauseef was brought up under the careful eye and strict tutelage of his able father Janab Akhtar Azad Saheb - a critic par excellence and a connoisseur of Urdu Shayari, Ghazals and flawless diction.

Young Tauseef received his initial taleem of vocal classical singing from the renowned Late Pt. Govind Prasad ‘Jaipurwale’. It was only after the demise of the latter that the teenager Tauseef came under the able guidance and tutelage of the king of ghazals Janab Jagjit Singh ji. While by now Tauseef had a fair idea of the theoretical side of classical format and Ragas it was only under his guru Jagjit Singh that Tauseef was to learn the important nuances of vocal rendition particularly the inimitable style significant to ghazal gayaki of Jagjit Singh who was to remain Tauseef’s true guide and mentor till his last days. It was Jagjit Singh who imparted to him the invaluable training in not only ghazal recital but also vocal classical rendition - pinning him down to riyaz with his tanpura and making him practice only the first note ‘Saa..’ for long hours on end… Here it will be pertinent to mention that Tauseef also learnt the Hindustani classical vocal from the well-known maestro Ustad Dilshad Khan Saheb of Kirana Gharana and Begum Parveen Sultana.

With such remarkable lineage it was then only natural that Tauseef enriched his pedigree in classical music and refined his taste in Urdu shayari. This is clearly noticeable in his choice of poetry that he selects for his recital as also evident in his masterly rendition of the same - which is his forte! His ghazals are thus eminently down to earth and simple for a large number of people to understand them.

With the turn of the century Tauseef in his bid to keep re-inventing himself, added another colourful feather to his cap by becoming a talented composer of music for films. He now joined composer Nadeem of the famous Nadeem-Shravan duo as his assistant music director and worked in a series of popular films as well as a host of TV titles and fusion concerts.

With his typically natural and effortless style of singing and a gifted ‘soz’ in his mellifluous voice Tauseef’s listeners cannot help but be impressed and carried away by his music and instantly connect with his warm and straight-from-the-heart rendition!
