Following in the footsteps of his uncle, the late, great Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Rahat has also gained global recognition as a qawaali singer, taking this centuries-old song form into the new millennium. Starting his formal training at age seven, he was performing on stage at 15, touring the UK with his uncle. Since his debut in film music in 2004, he's added his distinctive high-pitched, soulful tenor to major Bollywood soundtracks and high-profile international collaborations. Khan's sound may have its roots in tradition—but he's become a superstar by staying ahead of the trends.
