Born into a family of musicians, he began to play Tabla at a very early age. His initial training was with the late Ustad Latif Ahmed Khan, and he has received additional training from Ustad Shamim Ahmed Khan. He has also received special rhythmic training from his mother, the renowned Urmila Nagar--one of the most famous Kathak dancers and vocalists. Vishal started his performance career at the age of eight, and despite his young age Vishal has already performed all over India including performances in Calcutta, Jalandhar, Bombay, Gwalior, Patna, Mysore, Jaipur, Lucknow and Delhi. Some of the festivals he has performed at include Jaipur Sangeet Utsav, Lucknow Mahotsav, Harivallabh Sangeet Sammaillen, Mysore Mahotsav and the famous Sahitya Kala Parishad Yuva Mahotsav, to mention a few. Vishal will be joined on harmonium by Urmila Nagar, one of the leading dancers of Kathak, a classical dance of North India. She is the Senior Professor of Jaipur Kathak at the prestigious Kathak Kendra of New Delhi. She studied Kathak under two masters of the Jaipur style: Sundar Prasad and Kundanlal Gangani, and vocal music from the late thumri legend, Siddheshwari Devi. Urmila has developed her a rare and distinct style that combines rhythmic precision, facial expression and melody. In addition to teaching Kathak, she has received numerous awards and honors, and has appeared in National Programs of Dance, All India Radio and festivals in both Europe and India. Urmila has been coming to Seattle with her son Vishal Nagar, tabla, for summer residencies since 1996 under the auspices of the Prabha Rustagi Memorial Trust.
