Having been initiated into the art by his father R. B. Kaushal, who was a disciple of the legendary Ustad Amir Hussain Khan, Abhiman later continued his training under the famous Ustad Sheikh Dawood of Hyderabad, India, and the Ustad's senior most disciple, Pandit B. Nandkumar.  Abhiman has accompanied most of the leading musicians, singers and dancers of North Indian classical music and has toured around the world performing in prestigious venues.  He teaches at the Herb Alpert School of Music, UCLA.
