He is the son and disciple of Pandit Sharda Sahai, representing the sixth generation of Varanasi’s tablā tradition. By age nine, Sanju made his debut in Benares. At thirteen he earned a bachelor’s degree in music, and at eighteen received a master’s degree in music. Sahai has performed in twenty-five countries, including at top stages such as Carnegie Hall, the Royal Albert Hall, and the Sydney Opera House.

He is an A-grade artist of All India Radio and Doordarshan and has collaborated with non-Indian traditions including flamenco and jazz.
