alat hails from a illustrous family, who were great patrons of fine arts. He took his initial training from Kirana Gharana, formed by Abdul Karim Khan Saheb. Talat was trained primarily by Ustad Samad Khan and later by Ustad Fayaz Ahmed who were great musicians of repute.

alat's parents were instrumental in developing a flair for singing in Talat Aziz. They used to have mehfils every Saturday at their place. This was how Talat got the chance to display his vocal talent.

fter the initial training he decided to explore the unfathomable ocean of music with Mehdi Hassan saheb and also learn music from this great singer. He has the unique honour of occupying the same stage with Mehdi Hassan saheb in many concerts in India and abroad.

pontaneous improvisation and portrayal of the varied moods of the lyrics are his forte. There are not many contemporary ghazal singers who can assign true musical portrayal to each couplet as effortlessly as Talat can. He is musically gifted and is highly skillful in ghazals, geet or film songs. In his presentation, he always strives to establish a rapport with his co-artists and believes that it is the recipe for a good concert.
