MUSICAL STYLE: The Rampur-Sahaswan gayaki (style of singing) is closely related to the Gwalior gharana, which features medium-slow tempos, a full-throated voice and intricate rhythmic play.

Smooth Meend and well knitted Sargam patterns, artistically intertwined with rhythmic designs. Apart from Khayal, he also renders Thumri, Tarana, Ghazal, Geet, Sufi and Bhajan with equal ease and dexterity.His mastery of all aspects tonal variations, dynamics and timbre adjustment leave very little to be desired in the realm of voice culture.He is also a master of the tarana,and Tarana is very popular in Rampur-sahaswan Gharana Singing style. His renderings stand out for the emotional overtones in his melodic elaboration. He says: "The emotional content may be in the alaap, sometimes while singing the bandish, or while giving expression to the meaning of the lyrics."[4] This brings a touch of modernity to his style, as compared to the older maestros, who placed greater emphasis on impressive technique and skillful execution of difficult passages.
