I grew up in Dhaka, Bangladesh. I am the first and the only classical performer in my, otherwise very enlightened family. My mother, Shehida Haque,introduced and lead me on to the sitar, a dream which was unfulfilled for herself.
After initial training in vocal music,I was very fortunate to become the disciple of late Ustad Mir Qasem Khan, nephew of the legendary Ustad Alauddin Khan, founder of the Senia Maihar Gharana. I feel lucky to have been embraced in this ground breaking (at the time of its birth) musical ideology. As I was trained and groomed in Indian classical sitar in the 'Guru Shishya Parampara' (on a one to one basis' ) in sitar, I earned a Bachelors degree in Fine Arts at the Dhaka University. I moved to the USA in 1981 and continued to study sitar, going back and forth between the US and India,under great teachers like, Partha Chatterjee, Krishna Bhatt and Kushal Das. Each one of my teachers has contributed greatly to enrich my music through different aspects of my growth and connection with the music.
Sitar took over my life and instilled positivity and strength within me. I contunued to grow professionally and soulfully. I have performed in prestigious venues such as The Kennedy Center,The Bangladesh National Museum, The Sangeet Research Academy, The Purcel Room south Bank Center etc. I recorded and performed with world renowned tabla artists such as Pandit Anindo Chatterjee and Ustad Taari Khan. My sitar DVDs, 'Hrydayaragam' was featured in the Women's History Month' at the Smithsonian in 2008 and 'Strings of Resonance was nominated for the Best Classical Music Award in Bangladesh in 2010.
