Arshad Ali Khan is one of the leading vocalists of the younger generation representing the historic Kirana gharana lineage. He descends from the family lineage of Abdul Wahid Khan and Abdul Karim Khan, the founders of Kirana Gharana. A disciple of his maternal uncles, Ustad Mashkoor Ali Khan and Ustad Mubarak Ali Khan, he received rigorous talim at the ITC Sangeet Research Academy from a very young age. Celebrated for his intricate bol-baant, swara-lagaav, and expansive badhat, he is a recipient of the Sangeet Natak Akademi’s Ustad Bismillah Khan Yuva Puraskar and regularly headlines prestigious music festivals worldwide.

Harshad Kanetkar is a highly versatile and sought-after Hindustani classical tabla maestro recognized for his crisp tonal precision, sensitive accompaniment, and commanding solo artistry. Groomed under the rigorous guidance of Pandit Ramdas Palsule and later through advanced guidance from tabla legend Ustad Zakir Hussain, his playing embodies a rich synthesis of the Farrukhabad and Punjab styles. An 'A' grade artist of All India Radio and Doordarshan, he frequently collaborates with top-tier instrumentalists and vocalists across major classical music festivals in India, North America, and Europe.

Suhail Yusuf Khan is a sarangi player and vocalist. He is the grandson of Sarangi maestro Ustad Sabri Khan. Besides being a performer of Indian Classical , Suhail Khan has collaborated with several fusion projects and western musicians.  Khan is a member of Welsh-Indian folk fusion group Khamira, who released their debut self-titled album in May 2017. The group includes Indian musicians and members of Welsh folk-jazz group Burum. Recently he released Everything Sacred, a collaborative folk album with James Yorkston and Jon Thorne under the name Yorkston/Thorne/Khan. The trio went on to release two further albums, Neuk Wight Delhi All-Stars and Navarasa: Nine Emotions.
