GenresHindustani classical music

Kedar Bodas is an Indian classical vocalist belonging to the Gwalior gharana.[1][2][3] He was described by Scroll.in as a "master khayal singer."[4]

Bodas was born into a family of musicians. He received early training from his grandfather Lakshmanrao Bodas and his father Narayanrao Bodas.[5] He has also received training from Pandurang Salunke, Shreedhar Padhye, Ashok Ranade, C.P. Rele, and T.D. Janorikar.[1][2][3][6] As a child, he also learned to play the tabla, but eventually focused on vocals.[3]

He has performed across India, and composed the music for six documentary films.[3]

In addition to his work as a performer, he is also a musical scholar and a linguist. He did a four-year advanced course in Russian, which helped expose him to Western Classical and Russian folk music.[3]

He received the Mallikarjun Mansur award in 2018.[6]
