Rahul Deshpande is an Indian classical music singer from Pune, India. He is the grandson of the well-known late Dr. Vasantrao Deshpande.
Rahul developed his interest in vocal music by studying the music of Pandit Kumar Gandharva. Initially, he sought guidance from Ushatai Chipalkatti and Kumar Gandharva's son Mukul Shivputra. He further learned music under the tutelage of Gangadharbuva Pimpalkhare and Madhusudhan Patwardhan. He also learned playing tabla from Suresh Samant. Also, the legacy of Kumarji's search of including Nirguni Bhajans in the conventional form of music is learnt by him. His repertoire includes renditions from classical ragas to khayal, thumri, dadra, natyageet, bhajan, gazal and bhavgeet.
Rahul has achieved prominence as a creative musical performer from an early age. He is also the judge on Zee Marathi's popular reality TV show "Sa Re Ga Ma Pa - Little Champs". His work in the film Katyar Kaljat Ghusali was well appreciated. He was the playback singer for the songs of "Khansaheb Aftab Hussain Bareliwale", played by Sachin Pilgaonkar in the film. The role was played by Rahul himself in the play Katyar Kaljat Ghusali.
Rahul has won numerous prestigious awards including Rasikagrani Dattopant Deshpande Award, presented to him at the Sawai Gandharva Music Festival and Master Dinanath Mangeshkar Award in 2012 by Bharat Ratna Lata Mangeshkar.
