On the centuries old lyrical canvas of the ghazal, Sudeep Banerjee is a name that glitters with a passionate love for Urdu poetry. Perhaps that is the reason why, when Zee TV was looking for one young singer from India and Pakistan to share a platform with stalwarts like Mehdi Hassan, Ghulam Ali and Munni Begum for their famous ghazal series Ras Barse in the early 1990’s, they chose Sudeep.

Belonging to a very well known family of Allahabad, Sudeep did his schooling and college in Delhi and took to ghazals at a very early age. A ghazal prodigy, even today he receives spontaneous acclaim when he sings some of the ghazals that he composed when he was barely into his teens.

With time, the singer in Sudeep matured with in-depth training in the Dadra, Thumri and Ghazal Gayaki tradition of the Begum Akhtari Gharana under Shanti Hiranand (Begum Akhtar’s foremost disciple). Long years of tutelage under Shanti Hiranand stirred and cemented Sudeep’s emotional attachment to the mystique of the ghazal’.

Couplet by couplet, ghazals flower into unforgettably lucid renditions on Sudeep’s lips. It is as if, the world of ghazals has chosen him for itself.
