Ustad Faiyaaz Khan (1881-1950) was a Hindustani classical vocalist from Sikandara, India. His maternal grandfather, Ghulam Abbas, raised him and taught him music until the age of 25. Faiyaaz Khan served as a court musician for Sir Sayajirao Gaekwad III, the Maharaja of Baroda. He was respected by the Baroda rulers, and was given a seat next to the Maharaja during official royal court functions.
