Shri Ayush Sharma Ji is a dedicated Hindustani classical vocalist and educator with over a decade of training, performance, and teaching experience. Rooted in the rich tradition of the Gwalior Gharana, his musical journey began under the guidance of Shri Vishwajit Bhattacharya Ji of the Banaras Gharana, where he received training in both classical and semi-classical music. He continues his advanced taleem under Dr. Anshuman Bhattacharya Ji, refining his understanding of raga architecture, voice culture, and the intricate aesthetics of the Gwalior, Agra, and Jaipur traditions.
Alongside classical khayal and semi-classical forms, he also performs bhajans — devotional music that carries the same taleem into a more intimate, meditative register. Currently, he mentors 100+ students across the globe, helping aspiring musicians build a strong foundation in Hindustani music through a structured and student-centric approach.
Today he balances the stage with the classroom, coaching students across colleges, academies and private sessions in the techniques, ragas, and performance sensibility passed down to him by his own gurus.
Ayush's initial training began under the able guidance of Shri Vishwajit Bhattacharya ji, who taught him classical and semi-classical vocal styles for four formative years — laying the foundation his voice still stands on.
Ayush's traditional taleem of the Gwalior gharana was initiated by Anshuman Bhattacharya ji, under whom he has continued learning for the past five years — deepening his command over the gharana's distinct grammar and aesthetics.
