Joshi received his tabla training from his elder brother Paramanand Joshi and also started lap (Hawaiian) guitar playing under the guidance of G.D. Jhanwar. He received a degree in vocal music from the Bhatkhande School of Music in Lucknow and from the Indira Kala Sangeet Vishwavidyalaya (I.K.S. University) in Khairagarh. He is also a B-high grade artist of All India Radio. He is especially known for his taans which are produced more intuitively than through deliberation, and for surprising and sudden turns of phrase, for example through the unexpected use of bol taans. [6] [ unreliable source? ] Over the years, his repertoire has tended to favor a relatively small number of complex and serious ragas. [7] Some of his more popular ragas include Shuddha Sarang, Kalashree, Madhuvanti, Kirwani, Malkauns, Shankara, Patdeep, Charukeshi, Gorakh Kalyan and Vachaspati. His singing is mostly influenced by musicians such as D.V. Paluskar, Bhimsen Joshi, Rajan-Sajan Mishra, and Ajoy Chakraborty. Joshi assimilated into his own singing various elements that he liked in different musical styles. Joshi is currently retired from Government M.S. College in Bikaner. [8]

He is now a member of West zone culture centre of Government of India which is situated in Udaipur . [9]
