Group: Azeez Chishti and Group
A 60-year-old artist from Mohammad Azeez Chishti has been learning music through Qawwali (Hindi, Urdu, and Farsi). At the early age of 6, he began to learn, seeking inspiration from his father. He has been working hard towards achieving mastery in his craft and pursues it with soaring, sumptuous and tremendous passion. He considers his father – Noor Mohammad Qawaal, and Peer Mohammad (Noora Peera) as his gurus speaks very highly of their teaching and their achievements in the field of music. His songs are, therefore, very similar to his father’s compositions. He also believes that he has inherited from his father, who had a natural talent for mastering the art of singing Qawwalis and playing the Harmonium. When he was a child, he would try to imitate his father, and ever since then, he picked up the Harmonium, and never stopped learning. He also knows how to write Shayaris apart from singing Qawwali and has performed in various locations within the country. He has received several awards for his numerous stage performances and pulled off brilliant performances at festivals in states like Bihar, Mumbai, Jaipur, Delhi. He regards his performance at Delhi as the most memorable experience. Azeez lives in a family of 9 people with his four sons and three daughters. Thus, he also has to work at the Dargah to make ends meet. Despite all his struggles, he aspires to perform in every nook and corner of the world in the future. He has also played the Harmonium for movies like Yateem, Pardes, Dream Girl (featuring Ayushmaan Khurrana), Bharat Ek Khoj, and many others.
