His impressive debut at the Sawai Gandharva Music Festival at the age of ten years mesmerized a distinguished audience into acclaiming him as a child prodigy. A highly intelligent and conscientious musician, Ajayji has fused the influences of great veterans like Ustad Amir Khansaheb and Ustad Barkat Ali into his singing style, to create a musical genius.
