Unlike many other great musicians of India, Hari Prasad Chaurasia was not born in a family of musicians. His father was a noted wrestler who was keen that his son follow his footsteps. Hari Prasad Chaurasia chose the path of music at the age of 15 instead. He learned the techniques of vocal classical music from Pandit Raja Ram of Benaras. Born in 1938, Hari Prasad Chaurasia is a Bachelor of Music and trained as a singer with Annapurna Shankar. She did not accept him as her student easily. In fact, he had to knock at her door for two years before she was even willing to listen to him play. He was under her tutelage for five years.Her influence not only gave his music new depth and dimension but also inspired him to pursue a performing career.He gave his maiden radio broadcast in 1955. In 1957, he joined Cuttack All India Radio as a performing artist and worked there for 5 years. Thereafter he was transferred to the station in Mumbai. His talents were at once recognised and appreciated and he was in great demand to play on stage and for the screen. This finally made him resign from All India Radio in 1964. Later, he got a chance to listen to a flute recital by Pandit Bholanath on All India Radio in 1965 and was so moved that he became the pupil of Panditji.
