He was an extraordinarily gifted vocalist, known for a large number of compositions, and also an instrumentalist who popularized and improved the rabab (of Central Asian origin).
He was among the Navaratnas (nine jewels) at the court of the Mughal (Mughal Empire) Emperor Akbar (Akbar the Great). Akbar gave him the title Miyan (an honorific, meaning learned man).
