Feroze Khan, who used the pen name Adarang, was a Hindustani musical composer and artist.
[1] Mughal Emperor Muhammad Shah patronized Adarang, who revolutionized Hindustani classical music through propagation of Khayal with Sadarang.
[2] In the context of Sitar the mention of Adarang deserves attention.
Nawab Dargah Quli Khan's description of his mehfils in Muraqqa-e-Dehli is taken as the earliest mention yet found of Sitar in Northern India.
Adarang was the descendant of Naubat Khan and Hussaini (Tansen's daughter).
