Chirag Katti, fondly called ëSitar Vaadan ka Naya Chiragí (a new star in the field of sitar), or ‘The Torch-bearer of musicians family’ is one of the most gifted and talented musicians whose youthful exuberance and persona is well expressed through his music. This promising young lad is an upcoming Sitarist in the field of Indian classical music. Chirag, born in a family of musicians, has been learning sitar from his father Pt.Shashank Katti (a national A Grade artist) for last 18 years. Pt. Shashank Katti, being the senior most disciple of Late Pt.K.T Bhatavdekar (one of the senior most disciples of Ustad Vilayat Khan saheb), has played a major role in moulding young Chirag.

As stated by Rave (International Magazine)- ‘There is little doubt that Katti has enormous talent-his playing is both studied and expansive, and he tackles difficult raags with panache. Also, his sitar skills bear the mark of years of practice’.

He follows the ‘Imdadkhani Gharana’ but that does not stop him from being creative with his skills. He plays with the Gayaki Ang (the way a vocalist sings). At the young age of 24, Chirag has not only won many prizes but has also performed on many television channels, radio and concerts in India and abroad. The maturity that one finds in his performance at this young age is quite appreciable.
