Born in Hissar Pt. Jasraj is an Indian Hindustani Classical Music vocalist. Pandit Jasraj was initiated into vocal music by his father. He received training from his elder brother and later from Maharaja Jaywant Singh Waghela and Ustad Gulam Kadar Khan.
In 1960, when Jasraj went to visit Bade Ghulam Ali Khan in hospital, he asked him to become his disciple, but Jasraj humbly declined saying that he could not accept Khans tutelage since he was already his brothers disciple.
As a means of livelihood, Maniram took Jasraj as an accompanying tabla player. However, at the time, like sarangi players, tabla players were considered minor artists. At the age of 14, unhappy with his treatment as an accompanying artist, Jasraj left and vowed not to cut his hair until he learned to sing. He finally cut his hair after giving his first All India Radio performance.
Over the years Pt. Jasraj created a novel form of jugalbandi called Jasrangi that is styled on the ancient system of moorchhana, between a male and a female vocalist, who each sing different ragas at the same time.
He was awarded the Padma Bhushan in 1990 and the Padma Vibhushan in 2000.
