Ustad Iqbal Ahmed Khan is a successor and currently the Khalifa of the centuries old music tradition of the Dehli Gharana of Hindustani vocal music. He performs a large range of classical and light classical repertoire. His style of classical singing and his renderings of Thumri, Dadra, Jappa, Bhajans, and Ghazals have won him great acclaim.
He began learning music at an early age from his maternal grandfather Sangeet Martand Ustad Chand Khansahib. He also received intensive training in classical music from his paternal grandfather Ustad Jahan Khan and grand uncle Ustad Usman Khan.

He also was privileged to learn from his uncles Ustad Hilal Ahmed Khan, Ustad Naseer Ahmed Khan, Ustad Zarar Ahmed Khan and his father Ustad Zahoor Ahmed Khan and eventually emerged as a Top Grade vocalist of Akashwani.

He received the blessing to be chosen as the protector or Khalifa of the Dehli Gharana by his grandfather Sangeet Martand Ustad Chand Khansahib.
