Early life
Inayat Hussain Khan first married the daughter of Haddu Khan of the Gwalior gharana.
Career
His singing style has influences of the Dhrupad singing typical of the Gwalior gharana, and the Rampur-Sahaswan style is sometimes regarded as an offshoot of the Gwalior gharana.[1] His compositions later were made famous by his two sons-in-law, Mushtaq Hussain Khan and Nisar Hussain Khan.[1][3][2][4]
