Sabir khan was born on the 4th December 1959 in Rampur, UP. As a child prodigy in a family of great musicians whose heritage goes back to the 11th century A.P ‘’MIR AKASA’’ lineage. The Farukkabadgharana of tabla was created in the 11th Century by a Rajput Court musician Akaasa who later accepted and converted to Islam and became a Muslim. He also changed his name from Akaasa to Mir Akaasa. He was the first to introduce bols into tabla playing. The first bols introduced in tabla were "TAT-DHIT-THUN-NAN". Mir Akaasa died in the year 1189 AD. He was succeeded by nine sons and one daughter. He passed on his legacy to his eldest son, UstadBilawal Khan, who in turn passed the torch of the gharana to Ustad Ali Baksh (famous for his kranbols). This tradition continued till the 26th descendant, Ustad Haji Vilayat Ali Khan (1779-1826). It was he who named this ‘gharana’ after the province in which he used to live viz. Farukkabad. Ustad Haji Vilayat Ali Khan (1779-1826) gave this gharana the name of the province where he used to live, which was Farukkabad.
