Bestowed with a voice, that passes the three and half octaves, Jasraj grabbed the attention of music lovers.
The rise of Indian entertainment industry attracted many talented musicians of the early 1960s. Jasraj was no exception. But he realised it was not his forte and continued his practice in classical music.
