Sadakat Aman Khan (Urdu: سداکت امن خان) popularly known as Mr. Harmonium, is an Indian harmonium player who performs Hindustani classical music and fusion music. He belongs to Patiala gharana. He is the son of renowned vocalist, Ustad Sahadat Rana Khan.[1]
Early life[edit source]
Khan was born on 11 August 1997 into a Muslim family in Maldá, West Bengal. He received his initial training from his grandfather, Sangeet Acharya Ustad Md. Yunus Khan, who was the senior disciple Ustad Munawar Ali Khan, son of The Legendary Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan.
As a child he had little interest in music. His grandfather Late Yunus Khan was among the first to note his musical talents, and for some time trained him. However, he received his main training from his father Ustad Sahadat Rana Khan, initially at his house. A strict disciplinarian, Ustad Sahadat Rana Khan would insist on voice training (Swar Sadhana) from four in the morning, and make Sadakat practice one note of the scale for hours on end. A whole day would be spent on practising just a single note. It was not until he was 14 that Sadakat began to truly enjoy his musical training.[2]

He has played harmonium solo concerts at various prestigious venues in India and also accompanied his father in Harmonium, in his various concerts. One of such is a Whole Night Classical music Concert organized by DD Bangla.[4][5]
