Bilal Chishty is an authentic Sufi qawwal and classical Indian vocalist, composer, teacher and scholar based in New Delhi, India. He has been performing professionally since 2001. A meeting with the legendary maestro late Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, and his brother the late Ustad Farrukh Fateh Ali Khan, led Ustadh Chishty to become their disciple as well, and solidified his bond with qawwali and Sufi music. In addition to the Delhi Gharana, his stylistic and improvisational nuances are greatly inspired by the Punjab Senia Gharana school of music. Dhruv’s repertoire includes Farsi, Arabic, Punjabi, Urdu and Hindi verses from the works of famed poets and saints such as Baba Farid, Amir Khusrau, Mirabai, Maulana Rumi, Maulana Jami, Bulleh Shah, Guru Nanak, Kabir Das, Saim Chishty, Allama Iqbal, Mirza Ghalib, Bedil and Shah Niyaz among many others.
