Arun's singing has an emphasis on the lively and rhythm-oriented style of the Agra gharana. His performances are known for the essence of Agra with his use of 'nomtom', 'bols', 'taans' with great force and boundless creativity. He has composed over 150 bandishes in his book 'Swar Archana'[4] under the pseudonym of 'Rasdaas'.[5] He has performed all over India, as well as Singapore and the USA.[6]
