Amjad Ali Khan

Amaal Mallik

My basic grammar is in Indian classical music, Carnatic music, and Hindustani music, but I don't believe that that is the only form of music I will learn. I don't believe in that, because I am a very open minded person.

I grew up in New York. We were all diversified, as far as music was concerned. I grew up liking just about everything.

Don Alias
